What Are Water Features?
Water features are decorative or functional elements that circulate, fall, or spray water. They add motion, sound, soothing sounds, and texture to your pool or landscape, creating a dynamic ambiance and atmosphere perfect for relaxation. Water features can be tailored to complement any aesthetic, from modern minimalism to a natural oasis.
Common Types of Water Features We Build:
- Sheer Descents: Smooth, sheet-like waterfalls that flow gracefully from walls or ledges.
- Bubblers: Gentle jets of water that rise from shallow areas or tanning ledges, creating a playful, interactive experience.
- Scuppers & Spillways: Decorative channels that allow water to cascade between different levels.
- Deck Jets & Laminar Jets: Arched streams of water that shoot into the pool, often illuminated by LED lighting for a dramatic effect.
- Rock Waterfalls: Natural or faux stone formations that create a cascading waterfall, giving your pool a tropical flair.
- Grottos: Cave-like structures with hidden seating or spa spaces, providing a tranquil retreat.
- Fountains: Freestanding or built-in features that add an elegant touch to patios, gardens, or pool areas.
- Water Bowls: Modern bowls or urns that spill water into your pool or spa, offering a sophisticated look.
Every water feature we design is tailored to fit the layout of your pool and designed with simplicity to match your home’s architecture.
