Our Team.

Aqua Envy Ponds is owned and managed by Cody Santelli and Mike Snyder. Cody and Mike met in high school and each worked a variety of landscape jobs including snow removal, brick paving, and lawn maintenance before working for the same company the exclusively built and maintained ponds and waterfeatures. Creating tranquil aquatic landscapes became their passion. They worked for years gaining knowledge and perfecting their craft. In 2018 they open Aqua Envy Ponds and have been providing excellent pond and waterfeature services to the Chicagoland area ever since.

When not building or cleaning ponds Cody loves to spend his time outdoors and in nature. His passions include long distance running, cooking, music and traveling. During the winters Cody is an asst. varsity wrestling coach at Oswego East High School.

Michael also works as a magazine editor for two publications out of Nashville, TN. When not working with ponds or publishing you could find him outdoors, hiking, traveling or competing in triathlons.
