Water features are a beautiful addition for any backyard to add beauty and bring you closer to nature. Ponds and waterfalls are some of the most common that create a serene environment. Here are some of our designs that can inspire you with water feature ideas for your own backyard.

Shimmering Cascade

This water feature is a shimmering cascade that features beautiful rocks and boulders that supports the natural landscape. Magnolia Landscape and Design, Co. designed this backyard to bring nature closer to the home. The greenery provides a beautiful depth to the downwards motion of the cascading waterfall.

Pondside Serenity

Ponds are a beautiful way to add a water feature to a backyard. Sit beside the water with the cool summer breeze and beautiful gardens that surround it. Whether you choose to have fish or not, nature will appreciate this as one of the best water feature ideas in landscape design for homes.

Quiet Drift

The gentle spattering of the water on rocks reinforces the calm environment by bringing the sound of nature to you. This is one of our water feature ideas that carefully selected rocks and flowers that hugs the sitting area. It is a beautiful reflection of what modern landscape design has to offer.

Poolside Tumble

Who says you can only have one water feature in your yard? One of our favorite water feature ideas is a waterfall next to the pool. It’s perfect for everything from relaxing soaks and family gatherings. If you want your backyard to have a calm yet playful feel, this waterfall is the design for you.
