Amazing Pondless waterfall!

We just finished this awesome, 100 ft long Pondless waterfall in Hendersonville, Nc.

This custom waterfall features a meandering stream through the upper yard of our clients house. With a stone slab stairway that leads you up to a beautiful dry laid flagstone patio.

Every stone on this project was hand selected and placed to create a magical one of a kind feature.

Our focus at Living Waters is to create custom, artistic, one of a kind water features and stone work for our clients.

Koi pond and waterfall

living waters landscaping

We just finished this really fun project in Burnsville, NC. Our clients had an existing Koi pond that was failing. It was an old wooden structure the retained the pond.

We talked about options to fix the feature and deck that a rebuilt was needed. So we made plans to create a new outdoor space around the pond. The finished design incorporated a new dedicated Koi pond, a Pondless waterfall, stone stairs and a dry laid flagstone patio.

The pond ended up being 10×15 ft by 6 ft deep. We installed a rotating drum filter with a moving bed biological filtration system. This filter is top of the line and automatically cleans itself!

Below the pond we installed a Pondless waterfall with a Filtrific filter. We installed this waterfall seem as it flows out of the pond, but it’s a separate system.

We also installed a stone slab stairway that wrapped around the pond and leads you down to the lower waterfall.

Pondless Waterfalls

There is a stone bridge over the falls that makes a great feature.

It was an amazing project to be a part of. And I’m very thankful to be able to work with such awesome clients!

Here’s a quick video of the project.

Asheville Water Feature

Pondless Waterfall Asheville

We spent the last 6 months working on this large pondless waterfall in Asheville, N.C.

This water feature is 175 ft long and has 55 ft of total drop from top to bottom. We have painstakingly hauled approximately 150 tons of materials down a narrow steep trail all by hand. There was no machine access for this project.

We created a 3600 gallon underground pondless basin to hold the water needed to circulate the system. We installed a 5 hp EasyPro external pump to create the awesome flow of water. To keep the leaf debris out of the pump, we set a Filtrific waterfall filter box into this system.

We still have some finish work to do around the feature, but I was excited to share this update because I am so pleased with how it is turning out. We need to cap off the basin, install some more edging rock and landscape the project area.

Our goal in creating this water feature was to make it as naturalistic as possible. We wanted it to blend in with the existing landscaping and seem like it was always there.

Check back with us for more updates!!

Pondless Waterfall for Birds

living waters landscaping

We finished this Pondless waterfall in Asheville this week. It was designed to create a welcoming environment for local wild birds.

I’m no expert, but know that smaller birds like slow moving water and some splash. They also like some shallow pools to bathe and play in.

We also added a piece of wood into this water feature so the birds would be able to have a place to perch by the falls.

Give us a call for more info or for a quote on your new or existing water feature.

Thanks,

Jacob

Using Bridges in Water Features

living waters landscaping

We recently finished some of the edging work on the large pondless waterfall that we built last year. This included 2 wood bridges, a stone slab bridge and 2 stepping stones that help our client and his visitors enjoy the waterfall and surrounding landscape.

The waterfall in this video is off for the season, but I was excited to show some of the finished project.

We often use bridges in our pondless waterfall projects both functionally and as features. The bridge is a symbol of healing and connection. In some of our features we use stone slabs, in some wood or concrete.

Whatever material you use, using a bridge to cross you water feature will help people feel more connected to the landscape.

We have also done larger concrete structures over natural streams.

This type of bridge is much more functional, but can still be aesthetically pleasing.

Be sure to use structural material when building a bridge. Making it stout and strong so you can be confident that when you leave the project, the homeowner will not be left with a dangerous problem.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or to share some of your bridge projects.

Thanks!
