WATER Features:
There is no better way to add life to your landscape than to build a waterfall. Everyday you can escape the rat race to your own relaxing haven! Waterfalls automatically become the focal point of any landscape, there is nothing else that will catch your attention as much as a well built waterfall. The scenery and serenity of the natural sounds of flowing water cascading over the falls, the koi swimming about while your kids throw them fish-food, the night scene coming to life with pond and waterfall lights; these are all scenes that you can expect to welcome with you new water feature. Call Jake today, arrange a personal visit, and have your site assed for the most fitting design idea for your lifestyle, ideal placement of the feature, and pricing information.
Although there are endless design possibilities and variations of each, Jake's Landscape and Water Feature builds general two general types of water features, the Pond with Waterfall, and the Pondless Waterfall
Pond with Waterfall:
In these self contained, recirculating features, the water is collected by an electric pump in a housing called the "skimmer" which skims the pond surface of basic physical debris that falls into the pond such as leaves, sticks and twigs, so as to prevent them from decomposing in the pond and causing algae problems. The water than gets pumped underground to the "Biofalls Module" at the top which contains filter media for the purposes of growing live bacteria to keep algae down as well as physically catching the finer debris being circulated with a filter. These are great features because they allow you to create your own eco system of plants and fish which, when properly balanced, becomes a scene vivid with life. These features can be installed with automatically activated waterfalls spillway lights or submersible pond spotlights for ambient night lighting, fish caves(gives koi a place to hide from predators), water plant pockets and many more options/variations.
Here are some before and afters of a small pond that has several goldfish swimming about, with a curving waterfall following the landscape stairs to the 2nd tier of the boulder wall. The gentle falls can be heard easily while enjoying their view from their rasied deck.
This is a smaller pond we built besides a clients barbeque and patio. These pictures were taken at night, and showcase how these features come alive at night, as if they werent beautiful enough during the day! Automatic night lights are always a must.
This is one of the larger features we have built. This is a dual-feature. Although it has one pump, it splits into two different features that run into the pond, a dramatic cascading waterfall, and a gentle stream. More pictures of this one to come, including the intense night scene of this one.
Pondless Waterfall:
These features work similar to the Pond with Waterfall, except in these features, the electric pump resides in an access housing called the "Snorkel" which is typically buried under the rock at the bottom of the waterfall. This creates the illusion that the water is simply disappearing into the ground. You can walk right over the bottom of the falls. These Features are for the waterfall lovers who don't necessarily care for having/collecting fish, can't have liability of small children or toddlers falling into the pond, or want to keep maintenance to a near nil.
This is a small feature beside the front entrance, with a continuing dry river bed meandering to the roadside.
This beautiful stream meanders down 2/3rds of this hillside backyard at about 40 ft after it spills gently down a cascading falls at the top. The main falls have a low-voltage falls light lighting the cascading water. The feature compliments the marvelous view here.
Located directly besides the main entrance to this residence, you have no choice but to enjoy this beautiful waterfall and its accompanying exotic plant selections while walking past.

Some before and afters, some daytime, and some nighttime pictures of a pondless waterfall installed in Abbotsford on another mountainside view lot. Included is the view off their large 2nd level deck, which shows how deadly this feature is for entertaining during at any time. It is lit up to guests at night, and always gives off that gentle sound you want to leave your window open to.
1 before picture of the area beside the hot tub on the patio, right next to where we built a great pondless waterfall to sit back and relax next to. The after shots are of the nightscape.
