Pondless Waterfalls F.A.Q.
Is a pondless waterfall a good fit for Costa Mesa’s outdoor lifestyle?
Yes. With its focus on sustainability, design, and relaxation, Costa Mesa is ideal for pondless systems. These features enhance both modern and naturalistic landscapes while saving space and water.
Is it safe for children and pets?
Absolutely. There’s no open water to pose a risk. The water flows into a gravel-covered underground basin, making it completely safe for families, guests, and animals.
How does the water recirculate without a pond?
The water flows from the top of the waterfall into a hidden reservoir underground. A pump then recirculates the water back to the top, allowing for a continuous flow without surface-level pooling.
Low Maintenance
Costa Mesa homeowners love the look of natural features without the time-consuming upkeep, and that’s where pondless waterfalls shine. With no pond, there’s no algae buildup, no fish care, and no regular water treatment. Just occasional maintenance like clearing leaves and checking the pump will keep it running year-round.
It’s a great fit for second homes, vacation properties, or anyone who prefers a beautiful yard without a full-time commitment.
