Water is one of the basic
elements of nature. It sustains life, it purifies and soothes. The
sight and sound of moving water has a calming effect on both the
mind and body. Water features have been used for centuries by many
cultures to achieve calmness and beauty in the garden. It has been
said that our gardens are extensions of our souls, and that the
environment we create in partnership with nature is a reflection of
our hearts. Imagine a
water feature in your own garden that is both affordable and easy to
care for. With the new technology available today, pond maintenance
is no longer the difficult and time consuming task of years past.
Pumps have become energy efficient and easy to care for. Automatic
water fill devices, low voltage lighting and timers to control pumps
and lights are readily available. Filtration units are available in
many sizes and price ranges.
Going to the right professional is
the important first step. You should feel confident that your
questions are going to be answered in a complete and easy to
understand way, and that materials are available to you if you are
going to be building your own project. You can see displays of
ROCKWATER DESIGNS products in our garden display.
The garden waterfall and pond has
a history that is as old as civilization itself. Whether you study
the ancient Egyptians, the Chinese, Greeks, Roman or Incas you will
find each developed ways of using water to create settings that
would enhance their homes or draw attention to their architecture or
sculptures. The waterfall pond provides a place of solitude where
you can sit and forget about the stress of everyday living. A new
hobby has been created with the development of prefabricated
waterfalls and ponds. Pond keeping has been made easier than ever
before, with simple filtration for fish keepers and inexpensive
pumps and lighting, at a cost that is almost one-half of the on-site
construction.

amazing from formal to woodsy or oriental, the prefabricated
waterfall pond can feature beautiful plants and a variety of
colorful goldfish or Koi.
Any number of waterfall and pond
configurations are possible, and with the simplicity of
prefabricated units you can actually see your choice before it is
installed. Installation time can be anywhere from 30 minutes to one
day and can be enjoyed by the homeowner the same day. Also,
prefabricated units can be moved, if the new landscape design is
desired. A prefabricated waterfall pond
can be located in almost any yard courtyard or embankment and will
most certainly add value to any home.

large or small as space permits and may be raised or sunken. There
is no limit to what your imagination can come up with. A variety of
colors are available. Prefabricated units are preplumbed and require
