We design and install a full spectrum of custom water features designed to suit your specific property and aesthetic. Whether you seek a quiet, meditative retreat or a stunning visual focal point, we have a solution ready for your unique landscape.

Every landscape we work on presents a unique opportunity, from a classic Alameda home to a modern commercial space in San Francisco. Our approach is collaborative, ensuring the final result perfectly matches your vision while being functional, durable, and site-appropriate. We focus on integrating the feature seamlessly into your existing environment.

We regularly craft a wide array of options to suit your preferences, site conditions, and goals across the Area:

  • 🍃Custom-Designed Ponds Ponds and natural eco-systems designed to support local Bay Area wildlife and provide a calming environment.
     
  • 🍃Energy-Efficient Fountains Solar-powered fountains for an energy-efficient and low-maintenance water flow that saves on operational costs.
     
  • 🍃Cascades and Waterfalls Custom cascades and waterfalls that provide a powerful, soothing sound and a striking visual impact on sloped landscapes.
     
  • 🍃Reflecting Pools Sleek reflecting pools perfect for enhancing contemporary outdoor living areas and maximizing architectural lines.
     
  • 🍃Sustainable Walls Rainwater-fed walls and features for sustainability that align directly with local conservation requirements.

Because our team lives and works in the Bay Area, we deeply understand the local climate, water conservation requirements, and design trends. This insight, combined with our over 35 years of experience, allows us to recommend, design, and install water elements that are not just beautiful but also designed to thrive for many years to come.

Design & Planning: Crafting Your Perfect Backyard Oasis

The true difference between a simple fountain and a captivating water feature installation in the Bay Area centerpiece lies in the design and planning phase. We approach every project with the understanding that a water feature must be fully integrated with your existing landscape, your home’s architecture, and the local climate. This stage is where our 35+ years of experience truly shine, ensuring the final installation is flawless, sustainable, and meets all local standards.

Our comprehensive design process includes:

  • In-House 3D Landscape Renderings: We utilize advanced technology to create professional, three-dimensional models of your proposed water feature. This crucial step allows you to tour and visualize the completed project—including plants, stone placement, and water flow—before construction even begins. This eliminates guesswork and guarantees your complete satisfaction with the design.
     
  • Site Assessment and Placement: We expertly determine the optimal location for your water feature, balancing visibility from key viewing areas (patios, living rooms) with practical factors like access to utilities and appropriate sun exposure to minimize maintenance.
     
  • Material Selection and Style: From selecting natural basalt columns for a modern look to layering local boulders for a rustic waterfall, we guide you through choosing durable, high-quality materials that complement your aesthetic. We ensure materials contribute to the sound design, whether you seek a gentle trickle or a pronounced cascade.
     
  • Water Conservation Integration: Given the critical importance of water stewardship in the Bay Area, every feature we install uses a sophisticated recirculation system. We design with low-evaporation techniques, ensuring your beautiful water feature installation remains a responsible and sustainable part of your landscape.

We believe the best design is one that looks as though it has always belonged, achieving a seamless flow between stone, water, and living areas.
