Pondless Waterfalls F.A.Q.
Can pondless waterfalls be installed in Irvine’s master-planned communities?
Absolutely. We design each feature to fit HOA guidelines and space requirements while adding a personalized touch. They’re perfect for front yards, patios, or garden areas.
Are they safe for families?
Yes. With no standing water, pondless waterfalls are among the safest landscape features available. Water recirculates through a hidden basin, making them ideal for homes with children or pets.
How does the water system work without a pond?
The water runs down a decorative stream and disappears into a gravel-covered underground reservoir. A pump then recycles it back to the top, providing a continuous, clean flow.
Low Maintenance
For busy Irvine residents, pondless waterfalls provide natural beauty without the demand of ongoing upkeep. There’s no pond to clean, no fish to care for, and no algae to control. Occasional pump checks and basic seasonal maintenance are all that’s needed to keep it running smoothly.
