Our creative team introduced a unique concept to deal with this area: re-grade the slope, turning it into a “natural” retaining wall including a dramatic waterfall, stream, and woodland garden in its place. For the seven-foot-high “sheet” waterfall and stream, we used Aquascape Inc.’ pondless waterfall system, which allows for a good deal of water volume to create the dramatic effect.

A spacious, modern living room with green velvet sofas, neutral lounge chairs, and contemporary artwork. The open layout is illuminated by natural light streaming through large glass doors that connect to the outdoor space, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow. A sleek, minimalist fireplace adds elegance to this stylish and inviting room.

This custom waterfeature was built for this outdoor living space. A stone wall holds the patio level above the stream. The waterfall cascades out of the wall and the stream created from granite and outcropping stone moves along the wall. The soothing sounds of bubbling and flowing water are the perfect way to unwind after a busy day. This stream is low maintenance and is pondless, so the water cycles back through without a big pond at the end. A great fit in a small space or without the worry of having a pond.

This Pondless Waterfall project in York, PA includes a 65′ long waterfall and stream and a 35′ side stream and waterfall that will intersect the main stream. This pondless waterfall includes LED lighting throughout the feature and a land bridge about 6′ wide for the lawn mower to cross the water feature. The pondless waterfall will include driftwood and native rock to resemble PA native streams. The feature will vary in width for a natural look as well. This Project also includes a small flagstone patio area above the retaining wall near the water feature with natural stone steps that lead to a larger natural flagstone patio. The upper patio is complete with a pergola as well as a natural stone gas fed fire pit, as well as landscaping around the water feature and landscape lighting for night time viewing.
