Since Echo Valley's humble beginnings operating out of the back of a hardware store in 1982, Echo Valley has been built on innovation and dedication to affordable garden décor. Little did they realize that Echo Valley would one day become the world’s largest supplier of hand-blown glass gazing globes.

Having introduced the hose guide to America among other innovative firsts, Echo Valley history's is a testament to the company’s pioneering spirit. Before the company started selling gazing globes they developed the first wrought iron stand to hold them, back in 1993. This was novel to the industry at the time, as gazing globes had always been sold in conjunction with concrete or terracotta birdbath pedestals. This innovation opened the door to a realm of accessories and the introduction of new materials such as lightweight polystone, ceramic and wood.
