1. Pondless Waterfalls

Pondless waterfall feature in Lakewood Ranch, FL.

Enjoying the calming sound of running water made by natural waterfalls right on your property is possible through pondless waterfalls. This water feature works by recirculating water from an in-ground reservoir, bringing it to the top of the waterfall, and letting it flow back through the pool. The trick to making this water feature look natural is using rocks and plants to guide the flow of water, which will create soothing water sounds that make your yard more serene.

Aside from adding drama to your property through trickling water sounds, many property owners also love that you do not need much space to add a pondless waterfall! What's more, this water feature is low-maintenance because you do not have a pond that requires regular cleaning!

The constant water circulation in pondless waterfalls means pests like mosquitoes can't breed and lay eggs here!


2. Water Gardens

If you want to upgrade the ambiance of your property, you'll want to consider installing a water garden. This water feature consists of growing plants in water. Depending on your space, your water garden can be as big as you want! Some of the popular aquatic plants that you can use for your water garden include:

  • Water lilies
  • Lotus
  • Spatterdocks
  • Sweet flags
  • Giant leather ferns

3. Fountains

Fountains are water features that can make the environment on your commercial or residential property more tranquil. As water fountains shoot water up the air, the sound of the water rushing and flowing back down becomes relaxing music to the ears. What's more, this water feature also provides a stunning statement piece that evokes grandiose and luxury in your outdoor space.


4. Bubblers

Bubbler installed for landscape in Sarasota, FL.

Bubblers are another great option that you can consider if you want a more serene environment on your property. This water feature is a low-maintenance addition to your outdoor space, which already means less work on your part. Bubblers work like pondless waterfalls. Water circulates through a pump in an in-ground reservoir, bubbles up to the top of a rock or urn, and then falls back to the reservoir. As water bubbles and flows down, you can enjoy the tranquil sound of flowing water.

There's also no need to dig deep for the in-ground basin, making the installation of bubblers fairly easy. Moreover, bubblers are versatile decorative features because they can be installed in small spaces.
