Landscape Design - Water Landscaping

If waterfalls and ponds appeal to you, you're not alone. Water feature landscaping is enjoying immense popularity as homeowners are incorporating waterfalls into backyard swimming pool landscapes and flower gardens, or front yard fountains that contain statues. Integrating water features into your landscape design can be a challenge, but there are hundreds of excellent prefabricated products easily incorporated. Elaborate waterfalls and streambeds can also be manually constructed for a very unique and pleasing landscape design.

Commonly used materials for ponds and waterways are polystyrene and butyl liners, which retain the water. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can combine your watershed with rock layers on the terrain above for a cascading effect that reminds people of an elegant spa. Waterfalls can cascade over rocks into a pool or can trickle into a garden pond. The addition of sound and movement into your landscape design is detail only landscape architects usually know how to manipulate. However, the soothing effect water landscaping has is something many people crave. Unless you have a pond or creek running through your property, you'll need to have water pumps, water return systems, filters and the need for maintenance.

If you're up to it, water feature landscaping will make your home landscape truly elegant and bursting with life. Let SLDA plan and build your water landscape with waterfalls, creeks or ponds. We want to be your Boston landscape design company.
