Grow Your Landscaping Business with Blue Thumb Water Features
In the landscaping world, standing out matters. Clients want more than just beautiful lawns or patios: they want something that transforms their outdoor space into a sanctuary. That’s where water features come in. Whether it’s the soothing sound of a backyard waterfall, a striking fountain centerpiece, or a large-scale pond that brings life to a community park, water features create experiences that can bring life to any space.
At Blue Thumb, we’ve spent more than 20 years helping professionals like you make water features not just possible but profitable. What started as a small aquarium cleaning company has grown into a nationwide manufacturer and supplier of high-quality water feature products.
Today, we’re proud to partner with designers, architects, and landscape installers across the U.S. to bring creativity, functionality, and beauty to both residential and commercial projects.
If you’re considering expanding your business into the water feature market, now is the perfect time to see how Blue Thumb can help you do it.
Who We Are: Blue Thumb at a Glance
Blue Thumb is a team of passionate water feature enthusiasts. For over two decades, our mission has been clear: to manufacture products that make it easier for professionals and DIYers alike to design, install, and maintain better water features.
From our 126,000-square-foot facility in Saginaw, Michigan, we design, produce, and ship products that serve customers nationwide. By keeping manufacturing in-house, we can ensure consistent quality, maintain competitive margins, and provide the level of service professionals expect.
We’re not just another supplier: we’re a resource. Our team is dedicated to making sure every product you order contributes to your success.
Why Water Features? The Opportunity for Landscape Professionals
As a landscaper, you already create environments that people love to live in. Adding water features to your services allows you to do even more for your customers.
Here’s why expanding into water features makes sense:
- High Demand: Homeowners and businesses alike are drawn to the calming, aesthetic benefits of water features. From backyard koi ponds to commercial fountains, demand is growing.
- Differentiation: Not every landscaping business offers ponds, waterfalls, or fountains. Adding water features sets you apart from competitors in your market.
- Profitability: With Blue Thumb’s wholesale pricing and direct-from-manufacturer advantage, you can maximize margins while delivering value to your clients.
- Versatility: Water features fit into projects of all sizes: from a small residential garden to large municipal spaces. That means more opportunities to sell, design, and install.
By partnering with Blue Thumb, you’ll be positioned to capture this growing demand while benefiting from our decades of expertise.
