 natural-looking ponds

Well-Designed Ponds Add Charm, Nature

Creating a pond in your backyard is like inviting a slice of nature into your personal space. The gentle ripples and reflections of the sky, coupled with the presence of aquatic plants and fish, breathe life into your surroundings, offering a tranquil, spa-like atmosphere that other landscaping elements simply can't replicate. Your pond becomes a magnet for wildlife, attracting birds, frogs, dragonflies, and butterflies, transforming your backyard into a vibrant oasis. This lively interaction with nature adds an organic charm and deepens our connection to the environment. Moreover, we can create a pond that reflects your personality and style. Whether you opt for a Koi pond with a Zen garden vibe, a rustic lily-filled pool, or a more modern water feature, it becomes a statement piece that guests will remember and admire. The soothing sound of water, whether from a waterfall, fountain, or the wind rustling the surface, creates a perfect relaxation zone for reading, meditating, or simply unwinding.

 ponds with waterfalls

Nothing Adds Tranquility Like Trickling Waterfalls

An installed backyard pond with a running waterfall is like having your own little sanctuary. The continuous, gentle sound of cascading water drowns out background noise and invites a sense of peace. It’s like nature’s white noise machine, and it transforms our outdoor space into a haven of tranquility. The sound of running water has a proven calming effect. It reduces stress, improves focus, and even helps people sleep better if it’s close enough to hear from inside. While still water is peaceful, moving water adds a dynamic element. The waterfall creates gentle ripples, shimmers in the sunlight, and adds life to the space—giving us something soothing to watch, like a living painting. Just sitting near a flowing waterfall has a meditative effect. It becomes our go-to spot for morning coffee, journaling, or winding down after a long day.

What Is Involved in Our Design Process?


Initial Consultation & Vision Planning:

We will come out to check out your yard, sun/shade patterns, slope, soil type, etc. And we'll consult with you to understand your vision—Do you want a natural pond or a formal one? Waterfall size? Fish? Plants? Lighting? And we'll help align your vision with what’s realistic for your budget and space.


Design & Proposal:

We'll get to work using digital design tools to create your pond layout, including its shape, depth, waterfall features, rock placement, and landscaping.


Proposal & Estimate: 

We will present you with our detailed breakdown of costs—labor, materials, plants, lighting, filtration system, etc.


Excavation & Base Construction:

First we'll excavate the area, sometimes in tiers if there are plant shelves or a deep end for fish. Then we'll install underlayment & liners to protect against punctures and to hold water. Plumbing is set up, including piping for the pump, filters, and waterfall.


Waterfall & Circulation System:

Sized to match the waterfall height and pond volume, the pump is installed, as well as a filtration system to keep water clean.


Waterfall Spillway or Rock Feature: 

A big part of the process, and where are creativity shines, is the construction of the waterfall using boulders or stone, ensuring it looks natural and sounds soothing. This includes placing boulders and gravel, and finally, aquatic and terrestrial plants, both in the water (lilies, reeds, etc.) and around the pond (ferns, hostas or decorative grasses).


Lighting & Extras:

Your plan for a pond can include submersible lights in the pond and spotlights on the waterfall to make it magical at night. Also, a plan may include bridges, decking, or bench seating areas.


Final Setup & Walkthrough:

For the final touches, we'll run the pump, check water flow, adjust waterfall rocks for sound and look, and show you how to operate the system, clean filters, and do basic maintenance.
