Pondless Waterfall Installation in Atlanta
Atlanta Waterscapes does pondless waterfall installation in Atlanta: the sound and movement of a waterfall with the water stored underground instead of in an open pond. Call John at (770) 361-7446 to talk about a pondless waterfall.
How a Pondless Waterfall Works
The water lives in a basin buried under gravel, with a pump vault in it. The pump sends the water up to the top of the falls, it runs down the stone, and it disappears into the gravel at the bottom on its way back to the basin. There's no standing water anywhere. Book a free site walk to see where one would fit.
Why Go Pondless
With no open water, there's nothing for small kids or pets to fall into. There's no pond to clean out and no fish to feed, so upkeep is lighter. And a pondless falls fits yards too small or too sloped for a pond. For something smaller still, see custom fountains and water features. Call John if that sounds like your yard.

Natural Stone vs a Waterfall Kit
A kit comes with a preformed spillway and a pump picked for an average falls. It works for a small, simple feature. We build each one custom: natural stone you chose, a pump sized to your falls, and every rock set by hand so it looks like it was always there. Get a free estimate for a custom falls.
How Much Does Pondless Waterfall Installation Cost in Atlanta?
The price depends on the height and length of the falls, the pump it needs, the size of the basin, how much stone goes in and how easy the yard is to reach. John prices it after the site walk, which is free. Want a pond with your falls? See backyard waterfalls in Atlanta. Get a free estimate.

Do pondless waterfalls get algae?
Some, on the stones that sit in the sun, like any waterfall. Less than a pond, though: the stored water sits in the dark under the gravel, and there's no fish waste feeding it.
What is the best kit for building a pondless waterfall?
There isn't one best kit. A kit is a fair choice for a small falls you build yourself, as long as its pump is rated for the height and width of your falls. For a bigger falls, or one in natural stone that should last, a custom build is worth it. Call John at (770) 361-7446 to compare.
