Custom Ponds & Water Features

Custom Outdoor Ponds & Water Features

Environmental Design and Landscaping offers pond and water feature design and construction services We create, install, and maintain various types of water features, such as ponds, fountains, waterfalls, streams, and other aquatic elements, in residential, commercial, or public spaces. Our services encompass several key aspects:

• Design Consultation: We work closely with clients to understand their preferences, style, and vision for the water feature. We assess the site’s characteristics, including the layout, terrain, lighting, and existing landscape, to develop a design concept that aligns with the client’s goals and the surrounding environment.
• Conceptualization and Planning: Based on the initial consultation, our pond and water feature designers create detailed plans, sketches, or computer-generated visualizations of the proposed water feature. This stage includes discussions about the type of water feature, its size, shape, materials, and location within the landscape.
• Material Selection: We help clients choose appropriate materials for the water feature’s construction, including liners, stones, rocks, plants, pumps, filtration systems, and lighting elements. Materials need to be durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
• Construction and Installation: Once the design and materials are finalized, construction begins. This involves excavating the designated area, installing liners, shaping the terrain, placing rocks, and setting up the necessary plumbing and electrical components. Depending on the complexity, this phase may take several days to complete.
• Water Circulation and Filtration: Proper water circulation and filtration systems are essential to maintain water quality and prevent stagnation. Pumps, filters, and aeration equipment are installed to keep the water clear, clean, and free from debris.
• Planting and Landscaping: If the water feature includes aquatic plants, we can integrate them into the design to enhance the natural look and ecological balance of the feature. Landscaping around the water feature is also considered to create a harmonious overall design.
• Lighting: Outdoor water features can be enhanced with landscape lighting elements that highlight their beauty during the day and create captivating visual effects at night. Submersible lights, spotlights, and ambient lighting can be strategically placed to accentuate different elements of the feature.
• Safety Measures: If the water feature is accessible to people, safety measures are incorporated into the design. This could include proper edging, non-slip surfaces, and fencing to prevent accidental falls, especially in the case of deeper ponds or water bodies.
• Maintenance and Upkeep: Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and functionality of the water feature. We offer ongoing maintenance services, including water testing, cleaning, pump maintenance, and seasonal adjustments to plants and lighting.
• Customization: Our services can be tailored to the specific preferences and budget of the client. Whether it’s a tranquil koi pond, an elegant fountain, a cascading waterfall, or a more elaborate aquatic landscape, professionals work to fulfill the client’s vision.
