One of the most fun trends to hit the landscaping industry lately is the “disappearing” or “pondless” water feature. Water cascades from its rocky source, then disappears into a bed of river rock. No pond is needed as the water trickles to the end of the “stream”, seeps through the rocks into a catch basin, then is pumped and circulated back to the top of the waterfall. These water features offer a safer alternative for those with small children – no safety issues because there is no standing water. They are compact and can serve as a focal point in any size yard or area. The water features shown in the photographs below are actually near the front entry of the home and welcome visitors with the calming sound of trickling water. These waterfalls are operated with just a flip of a switch, are energy efficient, and require very little maintenance. What more could you want? Maybe enjoying your water feature at night! Low voltage landscape lighting and water are the perfect ingredients for an evening of relaxation. I am happy to show you how you can enjoy the peaceful sound of trickling water in your own yard this summer! Homeowners who have recently had a pondless water feature installed in their yard tell me that it was one of the best investments they have made for their outdoor living room!
