That is why we offer a wide range of landscaping services, including landscape design and construction for water features.

Types of Backyard Water Features

One of the hardest parts about deciding to add a water feature to your Coquitlam landscape design is choosing with type of water feature will work best for the space. Some of the different types of water features that you can choose from include:

Natural Ponds

One of the most common types of water features that Coquitlam homeowners choose to incorporate in their landscape design is natural ponds. This is because natural ponds can be built in all shapes and sizes, making them ideal for different sized  backyards. Natural ponds can also be designed to include a filtration system for keeping the water clean or a waterfall for added ambiance.

Fountains

Fountains come in all shapes and sizes, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your Coquitlam backyard. This type of water feature often includes a statue and built in sconces or scuppers, making it a standalone feature that guests will love.

Waterfalls

Waterfalls can be designed as a standalone feature or can be easily added to a swimming pool or pond to create a more natural effect. In most cases, waterfalls are made out of real stones, sculpted concrete, or fibreglass that is painted to look natural. Adding this type of water feature to Coquitlam backyard landscaping can also be a great way to add sound, movement, and vitality to a space.

Streams

One of the most elaborate types of water features that can be added to any landscape design is a stream. This is because streams require a fair amount of space and should be properly incorporated into other landscaping features to make it look as natural as possible. Streams are also the most design intensive of all water features, which means that they should be designed and installed by a professional landscaper.
