D. B. Duensing & Associates. Inc. began designing water features in the 1970s while working with stone to create nahual settings. This led to the formation in 1989 of David B. Duensing & Co. one of the nation's first firms to specialize in waterfall and water garden design, construction and troubleshooting. By the mid-1990s, Duensing became active in many aspects of the industry, including pond filtration product design and manufacturing. His knowledge of design, construction and maintenance - together with his affiliation with Anthony Archer-Willis - brings clients a breadth and depth of expertise that is unequalled among water feature designers.
