Pond or Pondless Waterfall? Choosing a Water Feature in Utah

Compare ponds and pondless waterfalls for your Utah yard. Explore fish, upkeep, and family needs, then get help choosing a water feature on the Wasatch Front.

One of the first questions we ask new clients is whether they want fish.

A full pond

If you love koi, water lilies, and a true backyard ecosystem, a pond is the way to go. It needs a bit more care, but it becomes the heart of your yard.

A pondless waterfall

For families with small children, or anyone who wants the sound of water without the maintenance, a pondless waterfall recirculates through a hidden gravel basin. No standing water, very little upkeep.

We are happy to walk your property and help you decide.
