Get to know the Project Styles
Most water feature projects fall into one of the following categories. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Ponds & Waterfalls
Create your own backyard oasis with a pond that supports fish, plants, and natural flow. Add a waterfall for relaxing sound and movement.
Above Ground Ponds
Enjoy the benefits of a pond without digging a hole. Above ground ponds are a great alternative to traditional ponds, and the customizations are endless!
Fountains
A great choice for small spaces, balconies, or patios. These standalone features add soothing sound and visual interest without needing a full pond.
Pondless Features
Want the beauty of moving water without the pond? Think pondless waterfalls, spillways, and container features that circulate water with minimal maintenance.
Get to Know the Lingo
Water gardening comes with a few terms you'll see often. Here's what they mean:
GPH (Gallons Per Hour)
How much water a pump moves each hour. Bigger features need higher GPH.
Pumping Height
How high your pump can push water upward, from the waterline, which is important for waterfalls and tall fountains.
Volume
Volume measures the amount of liquid that fills a space. It's imperative to know the gallons in your pond. You can use our calculator to determine volume.
Square Footage
Square footage is a flat, surface area measurement that isn't typically used in water gardening, but can be useful when planning where to place your pond.
