Ann Arbor Water Features
Who Designs and Builds Backyard Ponds in Ann Arbor?
The Huron River already winds through Ann Arbor, but hearing moving water from your own patio is a different kind of treat. WaterScape has designed and built custom water features since 1999, and our home base in Whitmore Lake sits just up US-23 from town. Chuck and his crew plan every project around your yard, whether that means a small pond beside the deck or a waterfall you can hear from the kitchen window.
As a Master Certified Aquascape Contractor, we build ponds that work like natural ecosystems. The rocks, gravel, plants and fish each have a job to do, so the water stays healthier and the pond looks like it has always been part of the landscape.
Fall in Tree Town
How Do You Keep Leaves Out of a Pond in Ann Arbor?
Ann Arbor is called Tree Town for good reason, and every fall those trees drop a lot of leaves into backyard ponds. Leaves that sink and rot over the winter turn into muck, which clouds the water and feeds algae once spring arrives. A leaf net stretched over the pond before the leaves come down catches most of them, and we install nets with or without a frame.
Fall closing services handle the rest: a basic shutdown that includes blowing out the auto-filler when it runs off an outdoor spigot, aquatic plant trimming and leaf skimming, and winter pump storage. If fish stay in the pond, we can add a de-icer, bubbler pump or aerator to keep a hole open in the ice so gases can escape.

Water Feature Services for Ann Arbor Homes
Every project starts with a conversation about how you want to use your yard. For a living pond full of fish and plants, koi pond installation is the place to start, while recreational pond installation creates a natural swimming pond filtered by plants and gravel. A pondless waterfall gives you the sound of falling water with no open pond, and an outdoor fountain fits a front walk or a small garden bed.
Already have a pond? Pond building and remodeling brings a tired one back to life, and pond maintenance, pond cleaning and fountain aeration keep it running well. We can also lay a patio right beside the water.

Questions
Water Features in Ann Arbor FAQ
Do you build ponds with fish in Ann Arbor?
Yes. Our koi pond installation service builds ponds for koi with a waterfall, plants and biological filtration all working together, and we can take care of the pond through every season after that.
Can you close my Ann Arbor pond before winter?
We can. Fall closing services include plant trimming, leaf skimming and winter pump storage, and we can add a de-icer or bubbler if you keep fish. Once the weather turns, a spring opening gets everything running again.
Will a pondless waterfall work on a smaller Ann Arbor lot?
Often, yes. Because the water drops into a hidden basin under the rocks and gravel, a pondless waterfall takes less room than a pond and leaves no open water behind.
