"Tyler and Derrick did a beautiful job with installing our pond. We especially appreciated Tyler’s design sensibility when her artfully arranged rocks to form a waterfall and along the front of the pond. He also advised us on aquatic plants and fish that were suitable for our pond. They worked efficiently and took care to reduce the impact of installation on surrounding plants. The cost for the work was fair and reasonable."

"Brian and Marcus were wonderful to work with. They installed two beautiful flagstone patios along with a pond and stream. They hit the nail on the head with everything. The pond, stream and waterfall exceeded my expectations. I am so happy I was able to work with them and will enjoy their creations for years to come. Thank you!"

"I was so appreciative of their willingness to help me create! They have an eye for detail. We started from scratch with a blank canvas of a backyard, and we made a beautiful patio and dog park for my dogs. I had ideas of things I wanted but Ross very kindly let me know how his way would be better...you know, because professionals understand that retaining walls help hold earth together and my idea would have caused a mud slide...YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!"

Fountains FAQs, answered by experts

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features. 

Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:

  • Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100

  • Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000

  • Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000

  • Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000

  • Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.

One reason you may want to fill in your pond is the cost of maintenance. Pond cleaning may cost about $1,000 for an annual cleanup, or monthly visits may cost $75 to $100 per visit. If you don’t want to spend that much per year on pond upkeep, you may consider filling in your pond.

Lifespans vary by material and manufacturer, but pond liners last anywhere from 10 to 75 years. For example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pond liners have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. Other types of pond liners, including those made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), can last 40 to 50 years.
