Meet Owner TJ Shinholser
I’m Thomas Shinholser (TJ), and I’m the owner of Charlotte Backyard Ponds. I started my business because I wanted to share the beauty of ponds with as many people as I can. My father owned a pond company in Maryland for as long as I can remember, so me and my brothers grew up living the pond lifestyle. I gained my experience working as a foreman for my father for several years. After learning everything I could, I decided to set out on my own and start my pond business in North Carolina.
My passion for nature is in my blood. I am driven by a strong desire to give you the pond you deserve, but I also like to have some fun in the process! I deeply value my relationship with my clients, and I am always looking forward to bringing some positivity into their homes. When you work with us, you can expect quality service and an enjoyable experience from start to finish.
