Custom Water Garden Design
Transform your yard into a peaceful retreat with a professionally designed water garden from Long Island Elite Landscaping. Whether it’s by the patio, pool, or in a quiet corner of your yard, our custom water garden designs bring elegance, tranquility, and the soothing sounds of nature to your outdoor space.
Water gardens appeal to all ages—offering a calming, natural escape right in your backyard. Every design starts with a conversation: we’ll take your ideas and inspiration and shape them into a water garden that feels as if nature created it herself. From shape and size to sound and plant life, our goal is to create something beautiful and uniquely yours.
Natural Design, Serene Results
Most clients prefer an organic, irregular shape that mimics natural settings. We incorporate real rocks, boulders, aquatic plants, and features like waterfalls, hidden circulation pumps, or flowing streams. These elements add both movement and melody, enhancing the relaxing atmosphere.
Water gardens complement all types of settings—from informal gardens with curved paths and layered plantings to more rustic environments like meadows, woods, or fields.

Inspiration from Nature
Long Island’s Water Garden Design Experts
We draw design inspiration directly from the outdoors, focusing on the irregularities that make natural landscapes so beautiful. Our years of experience in creating ponds, waterfalls, and full water features across Long Island allow us to bring that same feel to your property.
Water Garden Tips
To help guide your vision:
- Line only about 50% of the pond’s edge with rocks. Use mulch, gravel, driftwood, or plants for a balanced shoreline.
- Place rocks at irregular intervals to avoid symmetry—nature doesn’t follow patterns.
- Vary the depth and width to create a more authentic, natural look.
