Water Feature Services
Signature water features built for Minnesota living.
From ecosystem ponds to pondless waterfalls and fountainscapes, we build water features that feel natural, look like they belong, and run reliably through real Minnesota seasons. We’re based in New Ulm and serve Southern Minnesota, with select projects in the Twin Cities metro.
Not sure what you want yet? That’s normal. Tell us what you’re imagining, and we’ll guide you toward the best fit for your space, your budget, and how hands-on you want to be.

Signature Consultation
A guided, professional first step where we translate your vision into a clear plan.
You’ll leave knowing what fits your space, what it takes to build, and what to expect next.
Best for: homeowners who want clarity, options, and a confident path forward.
- On-site (or virtual) vision + site review
- Feature type recommendation (pond, pondless, fountainscape, hybrid)
- Placement, scale, and “how it will feel” guidance
- Budget-aligned direction and next-step proposal plan
Ecosystem Ponds
Naturalistic ponds with waterfalls, plantings, and biological filtration for a living backyard ecosystem.
Best for: nature lovers who want fish, plants, and that “vacation at home” feeling.
- Custom pond layout and waterfall integration
- Skimmer + biofiltration design
- Rock placement that looks natural (not “piled”)
- Options for koi-ready builds and premium detailing
Pondless Waterfalls
All the movement and sound of a waterfall with a hidden reservoir and minimal maintenance.
Best for: families, smaller spaces, and anyone who wants “wow” without pond upkeep.
- Works on flat yards (we build the elevation)
- Hidden basin with efficient recirculation
- Natural rock streambeds and spillways
- Great pairing with lighting for night impact
Fountainscapes
Compact, high-impact water features that fit patios, entryways, and smaller landscapes.
Best for: bold curb appeal, small footprints, and near-zero maintenance enjoyment.
- Urns, spheres, stacked slate, and bowl systems
- Designed to look intentional from every angle
- Recirculating systems in a compact footprint
- Upgrade options: lighting, multiple elements, planting beds
Rainfall Capture Systems
Invisible water storage below grade using Aquablox and liner systems, designed for reuse.
Best for: smart water use and feeding ponds, pondless features, or irrigation.
- Below-grade storage (no ugly tank)
- Rock/gravel concealment and clean integration
- Can supplement ponds, waterfalls, or irrigation
- Built with structural support for real-world use
Maintenance & Care
Seasonal cleanouts, tune-ups, and stewardship that keeps your feature healthy and looking its best.
Best for: hands-off owners, busy families, and anyone who wants consistent clarity.
- Spring cleanouts and seasonal startups
- Pump/skimmer troubleshooting and replacement
- Water quality support and algae control
- Ongoing service plans available
How the process works
Simple. Professional. Clear.
1) Vision
We start with what you want the space to feel like, then match it to the right feature type.
2) Site + Design
We evaluate placement, scale, and flow, then define materials and construction details.
3) Build
Clean worksite, professional install, and a natural finish that looks “always belonged here.”
4) Startup
We dial in the system, teach you the essentials, and set expectations for care.
