A Valuable Investment in Your Property
No Need To Go Chasing Waterfalls
Waterfalls not only elevate the ambiance of your landscape, but they also contribute to your home’s overall value. They serve as unique, eye-catching features that blend natural beauty with thoughtful design—something today’s homeowners and buyers truly appreciate.
Formal vs. Informal Waterfalls: Which Style Is Right for You?
When designing your waterfall, we offer two distinct styles—formal and informal—each with its own charm:
- Formal Waterfalls feature clean lines, symmetrical shapes, and often use materials like poured concrete, brick, or cut stone. They resemble a staircase-like design and are perfect for more structured landscapes.
- Informal Waterfalls are inspired by nature and designed to blend seamlessly with organic surroundings. Built using natural materials like boulders, gravel, and driftwood, these waterfalls mimic the look and feel of waterfalls you’d find in the wild.
In many cases, a backyard waterfall flows into a pond. Our pond landscaping services complement your waterfall installation, creating a cohesive and harmonious outdoor environment. Together, the pond and waterfall become the centerpiece of your backyard oasis.
6 Pro Tips for Waterfall Design
Designing a waterfall that’s both beautiful and functional requires attention to detail. Here are a few key principles we follow to ensure optimal aesthetics and performance:
- Proportion is key: Keep the waterfall in scale with the pond for a balanced look.
- Use natural elevation: Building the waterfall on a slope creates the most realistic appearance.
- Protect surrounding plants: Position plants away from direct water flow to prevent damage.
- Depth matters: A deeper pond minimizes splashing and reduces water loss.
- Enhance sound naturally: Leave a hollow space behind the falls to amplify water sounds.
- Adjust the height: For greater sound impact, consider increasing the waterfall’s height—but always in proportion to the space.
