Water features are part of Pools, Spas & Water Features. For pool-scale work, see pool construction and remodeling; for surrounding landscape systems, browse Landscaping & Outdoor Systems.
What Water Features Covers
Water-feature work can involve a defined fountain, basin, pond-like element or other decorative feature suited to the site. Size, water containment, pump or circulation equipment, power, drainage and surrounding materials all affect the project.
A new decorative feature is different from repairing a leaking or failing existing system. For repair, the request should describe the symptom and equipment rather than assuming the visible surface is the cause.
Before the Work
Photograph the full feature and surrounding area, including equipment, basin edges and nearby landscaping or hardscape. Provide product or pump model information when available.
For a new feature, measure the available area and identify nearby power and water sources. For repair, note when leaking, noise, poor circulation or another symptom occurs.
What Can Change the Scope
Basin condition, waterproofing, pump compatibility, electrical needs, plumbing, access, debris exposure and integration with landscaping can change the work.
Complex pond ecosystems, specialized pool systems or major electrical work may need dedicated specialist services.
What to Send With Your Request
- Wide photos of the feature or proposed location.
- Approximate dimensions.
- Pump, filter or product model information.
- A description of leaks, circulation issues or the desired new feature.
Show where overflow or drainage could go and how the feature relates to paths, planting and structures.
Common Questions
Does a leaking water feature always need a new liner or basin?
No. Leaks can have different sources, so the system and visible condition should be reviewed before choosing a repair.
Can a prefabricated fountain be installed as part of landscaping?
Potentially, when the base, power, water management and clearances suit the selected product.
