Pondless Waterfalls

Everyone loves a waterfall. A pondless waterfall is a great option for small backyards or safety concerns about ponds. The recirculating water makes it easy to maintain.

A pondless waterfall works much the same way as a regular pond. The difference between a pond and a pondless waterfall is the hole for the waterfall is dug deeper than for a standard small pond.

It is lined with rock and gravel and then filled with water. The water circulates through the waterfall from under the rocks and gravel by a pump on the bottom. The water level never collects above the level of the rock and gravel, so if offers a waterfall without the pond.

Water Fountains

The sounds of a backyard water fountain bring a peaceful sound and a calm to your landscape. Position it near your deck or patio and enjoy your water fountain as you watch the sunset or host guests.

There are many different kinds of water fountains like bubbling boulders, spouting statues, and tiered garden fountains. The fountain can bubble or single or multi-spray. Electric pumps are often used to allow the water to spray or circulate and help keep the water fresh.

Garden Ponds

One of the classic water feature styles for your yard is a pond. Imagine one stocked with colorful koi fish and plants like water lilies with a water circulation system keeping the water flowing. A pond can quickly become the focal point of your landscape, especially when framed by colorful perennials.

Water Walls

Water flowing over a vertical mosaic wall can be a gorgeous addition. It can add a classic or abstract beauty to a front courtyard, backyard or atrium through the use of color and pattern. Mosaics can be one-toned and simple, or a tile design that is complex and colorful.
