American Academy of Art graduate, Trevor Aguiniga, has found his passion designing creative, water features including artistic bowls at Aquascape Designs in St. Charles, IL. Anyone visiting its retail store, 901 Aqualand Way, will immediately be inspired not only by his handiwork assembling plants and special effects, but by the overall creativity behind it.
“I like each pot to tell a story," he explains. “And when I’m working on a large exterior project, I view the commercial or residential property as the canvas and the rocks, materials, plants, and waterfalls as the media. I enjoy coming up with themes to unify the entire project which all ties back to my art background.”
Trevor’s role at Aquascape is Application & Product manager. From working on water feature construction crews to designing the water feature bowls for the retail area, Trevor relies on his artistic vision for completing each project. Balance and composition are important elements along with consideration for scale. Often, the larger the better, when it comes to making a dramatic visual statement.
Add mood lighting, a fog machine, colorful koi fish, live greenery, blooming aquatic plants, tiny fairy garden elements, and VOILA! The finished effect becomes a calming, restorative piece that adds calm and conversation to any outdoor setting.

Thanks to artistry and the landscape building skills he has accrued, he is a perfect blend of vision and expertise working with clients to create their water feature vision.
"When it comes to building a pond, we always ask ourselves how can we make it look great, and how can we also engineer the design to work well," Trevor adds. "It's a dance between the two as we navigate form and function to create a masterful piece."
