Pondless Water Features

Beautifying Homes With Waterfalls & Streams In Southern California

Improve Your Outdoor Space with a Pondless Waterfall

A pondless waterfall creates a relaxed and serene mood in your outdoor space with the gentle sound of cascading water. Unlike traditional ponds, pondless water features require less maintenance, giving you more time to enjoy your yard with family and friends. A pondless waterfall creates an eye-catching focal point in your outdoor space and can fit in nearly any sized yard. Uneven or narrow yards are ideal landscapes for a new pondless waterfall and stream. The surrounding landscape and environment created by the water feature can further attract wildlife, making your backyard a nature lovers dream. It is also a quick and effective way to enhance both the beauty and the value of your property.

How A Pondless Water Feature Works

There Is No Pond Basin

Instead of water filling up a pond, the water from a waterfall or stream empties into gravel. The water level can actually come a few inches above the gravel if desired.

The Gravel Acts As Another Filter

Since the water has to pass through the gravel to get to the recirculation pond pump, it helps to filter out larger debris.

Pondless Water Feature Transformation

Go From This…

… To This In 1 Day!

They’re Easy To Maintain

Pondless water features can give you less to worry about while still enjoying a full water feature. They are great for relaxing alone or for gathering around with loved ones.

They’re Great For Kids & Pets

Ponds usually have about 2′ of water while pondless water features can have less than 1″. This makes them very safe.

They’re Perfect For Small Spaces

Not everyone wants a large pond. These smaller water features are great for any space!

They maintain my pond and recently did a great job on my annual drain and clean service. The office is great to communicate with. Any time I have a question they are prompt and professional to respond. That is important to me.

I am here to tell you, if you are considering adding a pond to your property, don't think twice!! It will bring you more peace, tranquility and enjoyment than any other upgrade you may consider. With this being said, absolutely the best professional pond builder is Dave Musterly!! His ability to envision your thoughts and bring your dreams to life are unsurpassed by none!!! His crew, professional, positive, respectful and detailed!!!! Their crew Manager, is above and beyond amazing!!! Alex's precision and attention to detail are extraordinary!!! His waterfall building skills, quality of workmanship unbelievable!!! You see, I have a unique and insightful vision to this beautiful home improvement process like no other!!! For I don't have one pond built by Dave or even two.... I represent a very select and limited customer group! Dave has built 3 ponds on my property!!! Dave is the only person I would trust to bring my visions to life!! I am not a commercial business - I am a residential home owner. This last build was probably the hardest!! For it was a re-build. I decided I wanted my large backyard pond to be larger, deeper and to add an even more dramatic waterfall along with my existing stream and waterfall. The new, more dramatic waterfall designed by Alex!! Okay, so this means, Dave had Alex, partially DEMOLISH my existing pond!!! Remove all existing stone, dug my new pond DEEPER and WIDER!!! Replace and add more stone to the rock walls!!! This was a HUGE TASK!! And also entailed MOVING my huge Koi to my front pond for the duration of the build of these priceless animals!! They were moved, one at a time by Alex himself!! Not one Koi was hurt or stressed!!! And return to newly built larger pond was the same!! Not one animal was hurt or lost!!! And these Koi are huge!!! As long as my arm and approx 15 - 20LBS each!!!All n' all for the ABSOLUTELY BEST PRODUCTS and most maintenance carefree pond experience!! Go with AquaLife!! FOR THE ABSOLUTELY BEST POND BUILDER!! You must choose DAVE MISTERLY!!! He is simply THE BEST!!!!!

This was a VERY large project and I had interviewed a few companies prior to meeting with Dave. Once I met with Dave, I knew he had the vision that I was trying to accomplish with the Dream of My Pond. Dave was able to assemble a team of CAC Expert pond builders who worked non-stop for 3 weeks in December building my pond, waterfalls and multiple streams. Dave also has a secret weapon: ALISON!!! -- she managed, coordinated and oversaw all the details of the entire project and was able to assist in a few finishing touches since the completion of the build. I think without Alison being involved it might not have gone as smoothly as it did; and continues to do so after three "Honeymoon Months" of the Pond-aka LAKE-Installation 🙂 !
