You’ve been dreaming about adding a water feature to your backyard—a place where you can unwind, listen to the soothing sound of flowing water, and create a peaceful retreat right outside your door. Maybe you picture koi lazily swimming through a crystal-clear pond, or maybe you just want the sound of a cascading waterfall without the maintenance of a full pond.
But now that you’re seriously considering it, you’re stuck. Should you go with a pond or a pondless waterfall? What’s the real difference? Which one is best for your space, your budget, and—most importantly—your lifestyle?

You want something beautiful, but you don’t want to bite off more than you can chew when it comes to maintenance. The good news?
