In addition to its majesty, another reason for adding a waterfall, adds Dave, is its ability to block out noise.
This is a great help if you live in a heavily trafficked neighborhood. Consider the following watery trail we created for Long Island clients. The spa is actually hidden inside the grotto behind a majestic high waterfall cascading over it into the pool. The waterfall spills into the free-form concrete pool.
The high waterfall spills into the pool — just outside from a grotto-spa where you can escape from the heat of the sun.
See also our feature photo at top of page. Deck and Patio replaced an old double 4-foot wooden retaining wall and water slide with a 7-foot-high water feature. We even added a stepping stone path in front of the waterfalls so they can stroll right past it — as if they were on vacation in the Caribbean or the like. But you can also have some of that awe right in your own yard. Along with a concrete vinyl-lined pool with waterfalls, for this backyard oasis we added a raised spillover spa with an additional waterfall, a stream with waterfalls, plus a koi pond.
The key to our design was locating various water features within a limited space so as not to disturb the environment. This concrete pool has a vinyl liner. We positioned it into the natural surrounding landscape considering carefully any existing trees and mature shrub root systems.
The spa also has its own overhead heated waterfall, which can be adjusted to cool in warmer weather. Pond was built to protect the fish against natural predators. Vibration flowers and fragrance is provided by many varieties of perennials, evergreen and deciduous plantings — planned for successional color throughout pool season. But like all creative endeavors, even making up plates of food, they are just more delectable when dressed.
During its design process, the homeowners encouraged us to not just dress their pond — but dress it to the nines. In the pond, you can see lily pads and water lilies. Its lilac-purple flowers also produce single-seeded berries on spikes in the fall.

Aquatic plants absorb nutrients from the fish waste. Our Deck and Patio clients love sitting by their pond. A favorite pastime is studying the many varieties of plants around it. As they listen to falling water they pick out the different ornamental grasses such as Miscanthus sinensis Yakujima bottom left , admire Hydrangea Lace Cap top right beside boulders , smile at the delicate yellow Coreopsis Moonbeam in front of tree trunk , and linger over the purple loosestrife or Lythrum in the right of these photos.
On the far left of the photo immediately before this one, you can see the bird bath the clients added so all the birds and butterflies the landscaping attracts can take a drink.
Standing sentinel over this scene are lovely Canna Lilies in a pinkish-orange. These plants are very low maintenance and easy to grow. Their exotic foliage add a tropical feel to their surroundings. Note: Other plants in this project: ground cover, Juniperus h. Emerald Blue. A great example of just such an upgrade began when our clients, who were saving for a pool, wanted some sort of water feature to enjoy immediately, adds Dave. They already had a lovely existing wooded backyard, so adding some inspiring waterscapes was all it needed.
They were concerned that the usual above-ground type of fish pond would attract too many wild animals. The Deck and Patio design team chose a location for the waterfall feature where it could be seen from inside the house as well as from the patio.
By allowing gravity to carry the stream water down to the waterfall, we were able to set the whole feature right into the existing hill with little reshaping of the land. Landscaping was also very important to these Huntington homeowners. Deck and Patio designed the project to be exuberant in both color and variety. These plantings are all set around imported moss rocks and other natural stones. The Aquascape Inc. We wanted it to appear as if the water is disappearing into the gravel.
We used dense and durable evergreens such as Procumbent Juniper that are very low maintenance and spread nicely. For color we used such delights as Begonias, Coleus, and flowering plants like Astilbe. Graceful plants such as Pennisetum drape over and round the moss rock and natural stones that Deck and Patio installed; the rocks were positioned to help move the water in different directions, just like it would appear in nature. The existing patio was previously installed by Deck and Patio.
Plantings also included various deciduous shrubs and several Norway Spruce. Behind the upper waterfall is a colorful Japanese Maple. Some good bacteria kill the bad guys. A healthy natural swimming pond is very possible and is worth all the care you give it. The goal, of course, is that any pond at a minimum be healthy for fish and aquatic plants.
