The sound of running water without the maintenance or the safety concerns of a pond. Ideal for small yards and families with young children.
Pondless waterfalls for Southeast Minneapolis homes and businesses
Our landscape crews build across Hennepin County, and Southeast Minneapolis projects start with a visit to the property so the design fits the grade, the drainage and how you use the yard. Pondless waterfalls is one of the services we install most often.
A pondless waterfall gives you the calming sound of moving water and the look of a natural stream, but the water disappears into a gravel basin at the bottom instead of a pool. There is no open water to worry about with children or pets, far less maintenance than a pond, and it fits in yards where a pond would not.
The installation is straightforward. A basin is dug and lined with a waterproof liner, a pump is set in the basin, and gravel is placed over the liner and covered with decorative rock and plantings to form a natural-looking stream bed. The pump recirculates the water up to the top of the falls and it runs back down.
We also provide pondless waterfalls in Southwest Minneapolis, St. Anthony and St. Louis Park, so Southeast Minneapolis customers are on a route, never a special trip.
Pondless waterfalls in Southeast Minneapolis
What is included
The drop, the length of the stream and the rock work designed to fit the slope and the yard.
A commercial liner, a gravel reservoir and a pump sized for the flow you want.
Boulders, river rock and moisture-loving plants that make the feature look like it was always there.
Top up the basin occasionally and pull the pump for winter. That is the maintenance.
How it works
Pondless waterfalls are built spring through fall, often as part of a larger landscape project. Most residential features take a few days. Low-voltage lighting can be added so the falls are visible at night.
- We walk the yard to find the best spot and the natural line for the stream.
- Design and estimate, with the rock and plantings chosen.
- The crew digs the basin, sets the liner and pump, builds the falls and plants it.
