Why Custom Water Features Elevate Your Landscape Design
December 10, 2025

When homeowners think of landscape upgrades, they often picture sod installation, retaining walls, or lighting. But one of the most transformative elements you can add to your yard is a custom water feature. From tranquil fountains to elegant ponds, water features bring more than beauty—they create a sensory experience that adds serenity and value to any property.

The Appeal of Water Features in Landscaping

Water has a naturally calming effect. The sound of a gently flowing fountain or the stillness of a backyard pond provides a peaceful environment for relaxation and reflection. Water features also:

  • Improve curb appeal
  • Attract wildlife like birds and butterflies
  • Provide a focal point in your design
  • Enhance the overall outdoor ambiance

Whether you’re looking to create a serene space to unwind or a show-stopping centerpiece, a custom water feature can meet your vision.

Types of Water Features We Install

At Broadstone Landscape, we design and install:

  • Fountains – Classic or modern styles to complement your home’s aesthetics
  • Ponds – Naturalistic or structured ponds perfect for koi or aquatic plants
  • Waterfalls – Flowing rock or stone cascades that bring motion and sound
  • Stream Beds – Meandering water paths that add a natural touch

Each project is designed to fit seamlessly into your landscape and works alongside other elements like turf, lighting, and hardscaping.

Integrating Water Features with Other Services

Our expert team ensures your new water feature blends perfectly with:

  • Hardscaping like stone patios and walkways

  • Use a filtration system to keep the water clear
  • Add aquatic plants to help balance the ecosystem
  • Clear debris regularly
  • Schedule occasional professional cleanings for longevity
