What is a Pondless Waterfall

A pondless waterfall is the waterfall without the deep pool of water that we call a pond.  Where does the water go?  There is an underground area that we dig to hold the water.  The pump sits in this area and pumps your water up to the top of the waterfall.  Contact us for more information or a price to install  a waterfall.

Pondless Waterfalls in Small Spaces

If you are short on space in your landscape then this is the route to go.  These water features can be made to fit small spaces as small as 6 feet long and 6 feet wide.  Contact us to find out how much  it costs to put a fountain in.

What is the Length of the Waterfall

Waterfalls can be short, 1-2 feet long or as long as 90 feet or more.  If you have space you can create a meandering waterfall with a stream that connects all the falls.  Here in Noblesville we have lots of flat land but with only a small rise of 12 inches to 24 inches we can create a waterfall that goes for as long as you desire.  There can be small pools that have water crashing into it from a sheet waterfall and then that water flows down into another series of rapids and waterfalls before disappearing into the ground and being pumped back to the top of the waterfall.

The Water Feature Lifestyle

These pondless waterfall features are sometimes the beginning of your adventure into water gardening.  You get the water, the sounds of rushing, babbling water, and a relaxing landscape feature.  You can even put pond plants into this water feature and all this comes with almost no maintenance.  Maybe your adventure leads you to wanting a pond.  Well we can add this pond to your current waterfall.  The only thing that limits a water feature is the imagination.

Pondless Waterfall Maintenance

Sometimes people want a pondless waterfall because there is less maintenance when compared to a pond.  We offer water feature maintenance if you prefer or you can do it.
Here's what you do. 
  • Once each year drain the water and spray off the waterfall with a hose or pressure washer. 
  • At least once a year, more if needed, pull up the water pump and check it to make sure debris isn't blocking the intake.
  • During the spring and summer add Aquascape Benificial Bacteria or the Aquascape Maintain to aide in keeping the water clear. Then if you have some algae that begins to grow just add some Aquascape Ecoblast.   

Winter Care

How to keep your waterfall running all winter.  Here are some tips to help you if this is what you want to do. 
  • During freezing weather you may need to add more water. 
  • ​Don't break the ice damns that form.  Water flows under those and the ice will actually insulate the water a little so it will continue to flow.  Ice formed on a waterfall is a way nature creates beauty. 
If you want to shut your pondless waterfall down for winter here is what you do.
  • Pull the pump out  and clean it.
  • Stick the pump in the garage.
  • Next spring just install the pump and plug it in.  Easy is what it's all about.
