Custom Water Features in Pittsburgh, PA
Bring Tranquility to Your Landscape with a
Custom Pond or Waterfall
Many homeowners in Pittsburgh and nearby towns dream of a peaceful backyard oasis, but creating a lasting and low-maintenance water feature can be more complicated than it seems. Without proper planning, pond construction can lead to leaks, filtration issues, or water loss. DIY attempts often result in poor water circulation, unsafe habitats for fish, or an unsightly installation that doesn't blend with the surrounding garden or patio.
Without the right materials and expertise—like a pond liner that fits properly, an efficient pump, or adequate lighting—what should be a peaceful retreat can turn into a maintenance headache. Poorly designed features can also attract mosquitoes, harm native species, or waste water through inefficient setups.

How It Works: Our 4-Step Water Feature Process
On-Site Consultation
We start with a detailed conversation and walkthrough of your property, evaluating lighting, soil, slope, and space to determine what type of water feature fits best.
Step 1
Custom Design
Our in-house designer (who holds a degree in horticulture and landscape design) creates a plan that includes water movement, plant selection, and hardscape integration using custom 3D design tools.
Step 2
Construction
Using slate, concrete, or natural stone, we install the feature and integrate all systems—pumps, lighting, reservoir, and filtration. Whether it's a koi pond, stream, or pondless waterfall, every component is installed for long-term reliability.
Step 3
Maintenance Plan
We’ll educate you on how to keep your feature clean and functional, including seasonal maintenance tips, pump checks, and debris removal. Or, we can provide regular service if desired.
