Enjoy the soothing sounds of water, timeless design, and outdoor spaces that invite you to slow down — crafted with care, built to bring lasting peace.
Four distinct options — each designed to match your vision, space, and lifestyle.
Pondless waterfalls offer a captivating visual and auditory experience without the maintenance of a full pond. These installations are ideal for small spaces or family-friendly gardens, where safety and simplicity are paramount. The waterfall circulates water through a hidden reservoir, creating a continuous flow that enhances your outdoor ambiance.
Bubbling rocks bring a touch of tranquility to any landscape design. These natural or artificial stones are crafted with internal water systems that push water up and create a gentle bubbling effect. Perfect for adding a focal point to small garden areas or patios — low maintenance and highly customizable.
Outdoor fountains serve as a dynamic centerpiece in any garden, inviting peace and beauty into your outdoor spaces. Available in various styles and sizes, from classical to modern designs, these fountains create a lively atmosphere through the gentle flow of water and attract wildlife, enhancing the natural feel of your garden.
Ponds and water gardens are captivating features that transform your yard into a vibrant ecosystem. These water bodies can be tailored to fit any landscape style, hosting a variety of aquatic plants and wildlife. Whether it’s a small reflective pool or a large, thriving garden pond, these installations bring life and beauty to your outdoor spaces.
When it comes to choosing a water feature, there are many factors to consider. Do you want something modern or classic? How much maintenance will it require? Is your budget limited? These are all important questions to ask yourself before making an investment.
The truth is, there aren’t any real restrictions on the shape, size, or style. Want to make a bold statement? Consider dramatic stone columns. Prefer a more natural look? We can create a natural stone water feature that will capture nature’s beauty. Not sure what you want? That’s okay — our landscape designers can help!
A properly designed ecosystem water feature balances five key elements—circulation, filtration, rocks & gravel, plants, and fish—to create a self-sustaining environment that works with nature, not against it.
Proper water movement prevents stagnation and distributes oxygen throughout the system.
Biological and mechanical filtration work together to keep water clear and healthy.
Provide surface area for beneficial bacteria colonies that naturally break down organic debris.
Remove excess nutrients, provide shade, and create natural habitat for beneficial organisms.
Control algae, add movement and interest, and complete the balanced ecosystem cycle.
Watch how our team designs and builds water features that look like they’ve always been part of your landscape.

0:06 The water feature that was here before had been buried in, and we wanted it restored to something that looked good. When we reached out to them, we got exactly that. It was people who were dependable, who were honorable. It was beyond what we expected.
0:22 They always had us out here making sure it was what we wanted, always responsive to any questions and concerns that we had. Customer experience is always fantastic with the Cable Brothers.
0:30 They come out, you talk through everything that you are interested in having and all the different aspects. There's no rush. There's no sense of being pushed to communicate what it is that you're trying to get. It's a conversation between you and them.
0:47 “Here are some ideas we have. Does that sound good to you?” Then yeah, you end up getting exactly what you're looking for. And in this case, we got more than we were looking for because they knew better than us how to put that into practice.
0:55 We're more than pleased. They have that family feel, even as they come into your spaces. What they do is something that they would be happy to have in their yard.
1:10 I couldn't recommend them more. There are very few people who you can go out and find who are the real deal and who are going to give you excellent service. Save yourself experimentation and go right to the good ones with Cable Brothers.

0:09 So, let's take a quick walk through and look at a few plants that we enjoy working with. While we're going through here, here's one of my favorites right here. This is a hellebore, or Lenten rose.
0:21 So, this one looks like a lot of greenish blooms in here. You'll get purples, pinks, violet, just a lot of different colors in these. And they bloom super early, almost in the winter really. So, they're really pretty.
0:38 We got some hostas in here. We've got some geranium, some perennial geraniums starting to bloom in here, and they're just a nice mass growing along this flagstone walk.
0:45 Then we come up here to a new landscape we just put in. And what we've got here, we got some forever red coral bells bringing a spice of color to the front.
0:53 We've got this boxwood that will be a hedge soon. And behind that, we've got hiding some incredible hydrangeas. Those will get up about this tall and just be a wash of massive white blooms. Just be beautiful against the brick of this house.
1:08 We've got some low scape mounding aronias. Those have a really nice bloom here in the spring. Then they've got some really pretty fall color to them later on.
1:20 We've got some sedge grass in here that'll give that variegated pop of color all through the summer. Moving down here to one of my favorites, we've got an allium millennium.
1:37 This will bloom about early summer time frame. It's got the purple globes up higher on it. This will be just amazing paired with the geraniums up front.
1:53 Moving over to the other side, we just mirrored the same effect. So, as you're walking up this grand front entrance, we've got what looks like the landscape just kind of flows through on each side of it. And it's just a welcoming, symmetrical front entrance here.
2:11 All the way up here, I forgot to mention, we've got some purple ninebarks. And this will just set off the corner here a bit. These just really bring some color to it. They're getting ready to bloom. Kind of a plummy white bloom.
2:26 And then they just give that deep plum color through the season. This will eventually, over the next few years, just fill this space in and become a nice patch of daylilies.
2:34 We've got some double knockout roses. So these are going to get pretty good and full. And this will fill this in with just constant red color through the summer.
2:42 And then we've got that paired with, I believe this is a bloomerang lilac. These things smell amazing. But the bloomerang will actually rebloom through the summer a little bit.
2:55 It'll put off a really strong flush of blooms right now, and then later on through the summer, they'll just keep sending out blooms here and there. It's kind of why they call them a bloomerang. Blooms that just keep blooming off and on.

3:20 So, we're at a property where we just put in an irrigation system, and I believe it's March of this year and we're now almost in May. So, it's been close to two months.
3:27 And if you pan around and look at the lawn, you can barely tell we were here. Here's a valve box, and if you lift this up and look in there, we've got our valves all in there underground, the wire and everything.
3:45 But if you also again look around through the lawn, you pretty well can't hardly tell we were here. There's a few little bare areas that'll fill in pretty quickly. But we're working through here and it looks like a pretty normal lawn.
4:01 That's because we plowed in the pipe instead of trenching it. We love to trench in the pipe when we can, when it's just open, bare soil on a new home.
4:09 But when it's an existing lawn we want to protect, we can really come in and do minimal disturbance and leave you with a pretty nice lawn within a couple months.

Most residential water features take 1-5 days for installation. Larger ponds and extended waterfalls can take 2-3 weeks or more depending on the scale. We walk you through the full timeline during your consultation.
Bubbling rocks start at $3,500-$5,000. Pondless waterfalls and ponds vary based on size and complexity—check out our project builder for detailed pricing on these features. We provide custom quotes after a site visit.
Not when they’re built right. A properly designed ecosystem water feature—with the right balance of circulation, filtration, plants, fish, and rock—is largely self-sustaining. The system works with nature instead of against it, which means less work for you. Typical upkeep includes emptying the skimmer basket as needed, adding beneficial bacteria treatments, and scheduling an annual spring cleanout. Most homeowners actually get to spend time enjoying their water feature, not maintaining it. The ponds that become maintenance headaches are the ones missing key ecosystem components.
You have two options: keep it running or shut it down for the season. Both work fine. If you keep it running, you’ll enjoy stunning ice formations along your stream and waterfall—moving water creates natural sculptures that look incredible in a winter landscape. You’ll need to monitor water levels occasionally and watch for ice dams that could divert water out of the pond. If you shut it down, we’ll remove the pump and store it somewhere warm, drain the plumbing, and set you up for spring. Either way, your fish will be fine. Once water drops below 50°F, they go dormant and stop eating. As long as your pond is at least two feet deep and we maintain a small hole in the ice for oxygen exchange, they’ll greet you again in the spring. A few simple prep tasks in fall—trimming plants, clearing debris, adding cold water beneficial bacteria—set you up for an easy transition and less work come spring.
Absolutely. Water features are designed to integrate into established yards, not replace them. Whether you have a mature garden, existing hardscaping, or specific spaces you want to work around, a well-designed water feature enhances what’s already there. We start by looking at the big picture—your entire yard, how you use it, existing drainage patterns, and where the feature will have the most impact. From there, we match the right type of feature to your space. A full ecosystem pond works beautifully as a backyard focal point. A pondless waterfall tucks into a slope or corner. A decorative fountain fits near a patio or entryway with minimal footprint. The installation process is straightforward. Most residential water features take just a few days to install, and we restore the surrounding landscape when we’re done. You won’t be left with a construction zone—you’ll have a finished feature that looks like it’s always been there.
Yes—and you have options depending on your comfort level. If safety is a top concern, a pondless waterfall is the best choice. There’s no deep standing water—just a stream or waterfall that disappears into a hidden underground reservoir. Kids love to splash and dogs can drink. It’s the go-to option for families with young children or water-loving pets. Ecosystem ponds can also be built more safely than some, with the right design. Shallow, sloped edges can make it easy for kids or pets to climb out if they fall in. Natural barriers like plantings can add protection without ruining the aesthetic. Many families start with a pondless waterfall when kids are young, then add a pond later. Either way, all Aquascape water treatments are formulated to be safe for fish, plants, pets, and wildlife—so there’s no concern about dogs drinking from the feature or birds stopping by for a dip. Please Note: As with any water environment, safety and supervision are always the responsibility of the adults present.
