Homestead & South Dade

Water Features & Aquascaping

Moving water changes how a space feels, but only if it is built to run clean and quiet for years. Greene & Stone Outdoor designs and installs koi ponds, pondless waterfalls, and fountains engineered for South Dade's high water table, with proper filtration and circulation built in from day one.

The real problem

Why DIY Ponds Turn Green and Fail

Most failed water features come from the same shortcuts: undersized pumps, no real filtration, and excavation that ignores the water table. The result is green water, dead pumps, and a feature nobody enjoys. We engineer circulation, filtration, and depth for local conditions, so the water stays clear and the system keeps running.

  • “My pond turns green no matter what I add to it.”
  • “The pump keeps failing and the water goes stagnant.”
  • “I want the sound of water without a maintenance nightmare.”
  • “The high water table makes me nervous about digging a pond.”
  • “I want a koi pond that is actually healthy for the fish.”

What you get

What a Water Feature Build Includes

Part of a larger plan

Most projects combine more than one of these. The pieces are designed together so they work as one finished space.

From first sketch to final stone

How the Project Comes Together

  1. 1

    Site Visit and Consultation

    You walk the property with us and tell us how you want to use the space. We look at the soil, drainage, sun, and existing features, then talk through a realistic budget before anyone draws a line.

  2. 2

    Design and Proposal

    You get a design and a clear, itemized proposal for the whole project, not a vague range. Nothing is ordered or scheduled until you approve both the plan and the price.

  3. 3

    Construction and Build

    One team handles the work in the right sequence, coordinating the licensed crews who build it. You have a single point of contact for the entire project, so questions get answered the same day.

  4. 4

    Walkthrough and Finish

    You walk the finished space with us, and it is not done until you say it is. You leave with care guidance and a clear picture of how everything was built.

What it costs

Pricing, in plain terms

Compact fountains and pondless features start at $7,000, with larger koi ponds and waterfall systems rising from there. Every project ends in an itemized proposal after a free site visit, so you are never working from a guess.

Before you call

Questions About Water Features & Aquascaping

What is a pondless waterfall?

It is a waterfall and stream that recirculates into a hidden reservoir of gravel instead of an open pond. You get the sound and movement of water with far less maintenance and no open water.

How do you keep pond water clear?

With correctly sized mechanical and biological filtration plus good circulation. Clear water is an engineering outcome, not a product you pour in.

Does the high water table cause problems?

It can, if a feature is dug without accounting for it. We design depth and structure for local ground conditions so the feature stays stable.

Can you build a pond safe for koi?

Yes. Koi need depth, filtration, and aeration sized for their load, all of which we design in from the start.

Is a water feature usually part of a bigger project?

Often, yes. Water features are designed alongside hardscape, planting, and lighting so they sit naturally in the finished space.
