Property that is nicely landscaped can increase the value
of your home by 15%, allowing the owners to recoup 100-200% of their investment
at selling time. Compare this with the investment recovery rates for kitchen
remodeling (75-125%), bathroom remodeling (20-120%), swimming pool additions
(20-50%).

Why are disappearing pond
less waterfall becoming so popular? Similarly to the sound of music that soothes
the soul, there is something about the sound of water that just relaxes people
into serenity that just can’t be matched by any other feature in your
landscaping. There is nothing better than coming home from work to hear the
sound of a natural stream or waterfall radiating from your front or back yard. OR BOTH. The disappearing pondless waterfall is easier to install than a
pond, and most importantly, it means less maintenance than a waterscapes
ecosystem pond or lawn. Although we will install either or.

your budget at the time of water feature installation, we will bury a outdoor extension cord in pvc and seal it with foam

want under water waterfall lights we need to hire out an electrician.
Important notice:
Typical disappearing waterfall or river with out a pond needs to be filled
from evaporation every 4 to 5 days. If you have a sprinkler system we can tap
the main line and add a bubbler that will fill the reservoir to a certain
level automatically (price will vary depending on where we have to tap the
main line) We also install sprinkler systems as well. with the purchase of our
sprinkler system and waterfall or pond, we will put a main line right
next to the pond at no extra charge.

no pond. Why would you want a waterfall without a pond? The truth is that a
pond less waterfall isn't for everyone, but it can be a great alternative for
someone who isn't quite sure about installing a full-fledged pond.
Standing water can also be scary for people with young
children. We all know how fast children move, and the thought of having a pond
so close to their play areas discourages some from considering a water garden.
>Other people feel that taking care of fish would be too much
of a responsibility and that they won't be able to take proper care of it, or
mosquitoes might become an issue. Others say they don't have the room for a
whole pond.The pond less waterfall is for all the people that have these
concerns, but are still in love with waterfalls. pond less
waterfall also requires much less space than a full pond which means one can be
installed in practically any size yard. And because of our innovative
installation system, we can install your new waterfall in about a day.
Just think, you could be enjoying your new water feature
tonight!We also offer under waterfall lighting as well as outdoor
lighting. If needed we can contract out to a licensed electrician to put a
electrical box near your feature so there will be no need for extension cords.
Disappearing River:
Disappearing rivers or streams are also soothing to the ears
with the look of a real river and the sound of cascading water from the
waterfall. The rivers are the same concept of the disappearing waterfall but
with the dry river bed completing the effect.

Running rivers: aka Babbling brook
Running rivers are just like the disappearing river except it
will run the entire length of the river. These are nice to add a little pond in
the middle and put a few fish in it. Let us know if you want to put fish in the
pond or river because there needs to be a certain depth for aquatic life.
Water Features:
Water features are just
what they are. We choose the best water feature for the design we are trying to
achieve. We have many suppliers to choose from. You will go with us to pick out
the feature for your project.
