Landscape Design — Water Features
Water Features &
Rain Gardens
Ponds, rills, and bioswales that turn stormwater from a problem into an asset, drawing people outdoors and supporting aquatic habitat.
Water as a
landscape element
Water features bring movement, sound, and life to a landscape. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, they create habitat for aquatic plants and wildlife, cool the surrounding air, and can be integrated into sustainable stormwater management systems.
We design water features that work with your site's natural drainage patterns, turning what might be a problem into a beautiful and functional landscape element.
Water Feature Types
Naturalistic Ponds
Ecologically designed ponds that support aquatic plants, beneficial insects, and wildlife while creating a focal point in the garden.
Rain Gardens
Planted depressions that capture and filter stormwater runoff, reducing flooding while supporting native plants.
Bioswales
Linear planted channels that slow, filter, and infiltrate stormwater while creating beautiful landscape corridors.
Waterfalls & Streams
Cascading water features that add sound and movement, designed to look naturally integrated into the landscape.
Pondless Fountains
Low-maintenance water features with recirculating systems, ideal for smaller spaces or families with young children.
Rills & Channels
Formal or informal water channels that guide water through the landscape, creating visual and auditory interest.
Ecological Benefits
Stormwater Management
Rain gardens and bioswales capture and filter runoff, reducing strain on municipal systems and preventing erosion.
Habitat Creation
Water features support dragonflies, frogs, birds, and beneficial insects, increasing biodiversity in your garden.
Microclimate Cooling
Evaporative cooling from water features helps moderate temperature in the surrounding area during hot weather.
Groundwater Recharge
Properly designed features allow water to infiltrate slowly, replenishing groundwater rather than running off.
