WATER FEATURES

We have been installing water features since 1995. These can truly enhance any yard or business. Not only are water features great to look at, but they also produce a wonderful sound that is both soothing and relaxing. We can produce any type of feature you want including Ponds, Waterfalls, Streams, Fountains, Pond-less Waterfalls and much more.

Take a look at some of the pictures and give us a call for a free estimate.

This Pond-less Water Feature is located at  2133 E. Center St. in Pocatello, Idaho. This feature has three cascading falls in the front with two six foot falls on the back side. The water from the back falls is brought around to the front pond-less area by streams on the right and left of the feature. Multiple pictures of this feature will be shown from all views to show its  diversity. There are six pumps which circulate the water. These pumps push about 400 gallons of water per minute. The feature is also designed to run year round. It is beautiful in the winter when many areas ice over. This is not harmful to the feature and adds year round pleasure to all who view this.

This view shows how the water from the back falls is brought to the front area where it is then circulated  to the waterfall.

What is Pond-less?

With a pond-less feature there is no area where the water sits and pools that is accessible by anyone. This is a positive in many ways. First the liability factor of having someone fall in a pond is eliminated. Another great point is that the pond area is actually filled up with rock. This acts as a self filtering system for the entire water feature. The picture at the right and top right show the water going into the pond-less area. This is also where the pumps are housed. The disadvantage is not being able to have fish or water plants in the feature.

The above Center St. water feature was created using 38 tons of Oakley stone, 45 tons of boulders, 55 tons of 2inch river rock and decorative rock and about 5000 sq. ft. of pond liner.

The above water feature has two pumps and two waterfall weirs. This is a pond-less water feature which was built using 30 tons of large boulders and 15 tons of 1-2 inch size river rock. This feature also has 6 lights in and around it to highlight the area in the night time.

PRICING INFORMATION

Because of the diversity of any water feature it is difficult to give a price description.

All prices would be contingent on how many pumps, weirs, lights and how much pond liner is used. Also the type of rock used, amount of rock and availability of power and water. Plant material and surrounding landscape/irrigation is also a factor.

The above Pond-less double waterfall feature which includes everything shown, all labor and material for the feature plus plant material and irrigation to the plants  and lighting cost about $14,950.00  (Power to the feature provided by owner.)

We can make any kind of water feature. We have made small simple fountains or falls costing as low as $1,800.00 up to the elaborate Center St. feature that was about $79,000.00
