Backyard pond with small cascading waterfall
Various Types of Landscape Water Features
- Ponds
- Garden Ponds: Naturalistic, often include plants, rocks, and fish (like koi or goldfish).
- Reflecting Pools: Still water with a smooth surface for visual reflection; often formal and geometric.
- Wildlife Ponds: Designed to attract birds, frogs, and insects, emphasizing ecological balance
- Fountains
- Tiered Fountains: Classic, multi-level structures with cascading water.
- Wall Fountains: Mounted on a vertical surface; ideal for small spaces.
- Spouting Fountains: Use jets or nozzles to shoot water into the air—can be dramatic or playful.
- Bubbling Rocks: Natural stones drilled to allow water to bubble out the top—low maintenance and zen-like.
- Waterfalls
- Stand-Alone Waterfalls: Feature rocks and water flowing over them, often connected to a recirculating pump.
- Pondless Waterfalls: Water disappears into a hidden underground reservoir—great for safety and low upkeep.
- Stream Waterfalls: Water flows through a sloped landscape, mimicking a natural brook or creek.
- Streams and Brooks
- Mimic natural watercourses with twists, turns, and varying speeds.
- Often connected to ponds or waterfalls.
- Can be dry creeks that flow only when it rains or with occasional water circulation.
- Water Walls
- Water runs down a vertical surface made of glass, stone, or metal.
- Sleek and modern; great for ambient sound and visual appeal.
- Birdbaths

Marcelo came highly recommended by Kopp Construction Company. His professional conduct, positive attitude and respectful crew are reliably responsive, maintain high standards of order of operations to keep work area clean, and deliver quality service at a reasonable fee. We initially planned to complete the project on our own, but it was a huge relief to defer to the expertise and assurance from Beaver Landscape. They not only exceeded our expectations for a new backyard, but finished the project faster than thought possible. We strongly encourage everyone to experience the freedom to have wishes come true and work with Beaver Landscape Concepts.
