Pool water features we build

Freeform pool with a boulder waterfall at dusk in Omaha, NE

Boulder waterfalls

Natural stone stacked and set so the water reads like it always ran there. The heaviest look and the loudest sound.

Sheer descents spilling into a rectangular pool with a pool house beyond in Omaha, NE

Sheer-descent walls

A clean sheet of water off a stone or stucco wall. Modern, quiet and the easiest to keep looking sharp.

Spa spillways

A raised spa that spills into the pool gives you sound and motion without a separate feature.

Raised pool terrace on a block retaining wall below a two story home in Omaha, NE

Deck jets

Arcs of water from the deck into the pool, controllable and easy to shut off when you want stillness.

Bubblers along the edge of a rectangular pool in Omaha, NE

Bubblers and ledges

Bubblers on a tanning shelf are the feature kids use most, and they cost the least to build in.

Built into the pool shell

Plumbed with the pool

Feature lines, valves and a dedicated pump go in during the build. Adding them later means opening the deck.

Sized for sound, not spray

Flow rate and drop height are tuned so you get the sound you want without soaking the furniture or losing water.

Winterized properly

Features are the first thing to freeze and crack. Ours are plumbed to drain and included in our closing service.

Water feature questions

Ask us a water feature question

Do water features waste a lot of water?

Not when they are sized right. Evaporation goes up slightly; a badly tuned feature that sprays past the coping is the real loss.

Can I add one to an existing pool?

Usually yes, especially at a raised wall or bond beam. It needs new plumbing, so budget for some deck work.

How loud are they?

A boulder waterfall is conversation-covering; a sheer descent is a soft rush. We can tune either one down with a valve.

Do they need their own pump?

The good ones do. Sharing the filtration pump means you cannot run the feature and filter properly at the same time.

What about maintenance?

Keep chemistry balanced and the feature clean, and there is very little to it. Scale is the main enemy on stone.
