Custom Water Features and Gardens in Asheville, NC
Just finished this small sized pond and waterfall in Biltmore Park, Nc
We replaced an existing failed pond and waterfall for our clients.
This system has a 5×8 pond with a 3×5 bog filter to keep the pond clean.

The last couple weeks we’ve been working on this water feature.
I think it’s coming out great so far!
We set some pretty large boulders into this feature. The access was tight, but we managed to create something beautiful.
We added some low voltage aquatic lighting to this feature. The next step will be to add plants and mulch. The plants are always the framework for the waterfall.
More progress pics to come!

This month we have been working on building a decorative garden pond in Hendersonville, Nc.
This project is currently under construction. Please check back later for finished project photos.
This pond will be appropriately 15×22 ft wide and 4 ft deep. We added some special features to this system. Including: an intake bay filter, a wetland filter and an airlift bottom filter.
With all these filters combined, along with aeration and circulation jets, the pond will be crystal clear and have very little maintenance to keep it that way.
We started off by excavating the pond area and lining it with a 45 mil EPDM rubber liner. Then we set boulders along the pond wall, leaving planting pockets for aquatic plants that will help keep the water clear and healthy.
We added some large boulders into the pond to create a truly unique and impressive feature.
We also added a fun feature to this pond. Floating Steps! They are actually not ‘floating’ but will look like it when the pond is full. We set flagstone steppingstones on top of concrete pillars to create this awesome feature.
As this pond developed, we decided to add some aquatic lighting into the pond so our client could enjoy the fish at night.
One of the unique filtration options we installed into this pond was the airlift filter grid at the bottom of the pond. The airlift is created using a grid of perforated pipes under gravel laid into the bottom of the pond. When the system is on, the aerator will pump water into a vertical pipe connected to the grid and create a vacuum. This will draw water through the grid and discharge it to the top of the pond. Making the whole floor of the pond a big biological filter.
As we are still working on this system, please check back soon for some finished project photos and videos.
Give us a call or message with any questions, or if you are considering having a pond or waterfall installed in your yard.

We’re finishing up this Pondless waterfall here in Asheville, Nc
This is the 4th waterfall we have built on this property in 5 years.
This Pondless waterfall is approximately 200 ft long with a 60 ft total drop. It has a 5 hp external waterfall pump to circulate the system.
This is just a sneak peak of the falls that we just got running today. We still have a lot of edging work, pathways, stairs, bridges and landscaping to finish up in the next couple months. We’ve been on this project for 4 months so far.
The end result on this project will be to have a waterfall that flows down the whole length of the property. With about 350 ft of total drop and appropriately 600-700 ft of total length of waterfalls.
There are 4 separate waterfall systems so far, with probably 4 more to come. Each system has its own pump, but we’re built to look like one feature as you walk the property.
The most amazing part of this project is that there is no machine access on the property, so every stone has to be brought down by hand.
Check back soon for more progress pictures and videos.
Our project the last couple weeks has been working on the rebuild of a failed pond and waterfall in Asheville, near the famous Biltmore estate.
The existing waterfall had failed previously and the homeowners had it filled in and abandoned it. We were contacted to try and revive the feature in the same footprint as the old one.
We were happy to help and recommended installing a Pondless waterfall instead of a pond and waterfall system. The Pondless feature would be easier to maintain for our clients.
Plus their main objective for this project was to hear the sound from the porch.
We will typically recommend a Pondless waterfall to our clients who are not necessarily interested in raising Koi.
The Pondless waterfall system will give you the beautiful sound and enjoyment of a water feature with all the maintenance included in having a pond.
With this feature we re-landscaped the project area and installed a new low voltage lighting system, including aquatic lighting so our clients could enjoy the waterfall at night.
Here’s a quick video of the project.
Give us a call anytime if you need help designing or installing a water feature of any kind.
