ERIK ANDERSON

Lead Designer | Owner

Erik graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Construction Sciences. He worked in the construction industry for several years, gaining invaluable experience that informs the work he does today. 15 years ago, in his desire to enhance his home, Erik decided to design and build his own koi pond. Friends and neighbors alike were impressed with Erik’s creation which became a focal point of his yard. People started asking him if he could create a water feature for their backyards, and thus, Anderson Pond Design was born. Erik has now built or remodeled over 700 ponds.
