Types of Water Features We Offer
Fountains
Enhancing Elegance and Charm
Add a touch of elegance and charm with a custom-designed fountain. A fountain isn’t just a decorative element; it’s a statement piece. Choose from a variety of styles, including classic tiered fountains, modern wall fountains, and bubbling rock fountains, perfect for any setting, from a compact Portland, OR urban garden to a sprawling estate.
High-Quality Materials
We use high-quality materials and pumps to ensure lasting beauty and performance. This commitment to quality means your fountain will be a focal point for years to come, resisting the elements and maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, we offer a range of materials, from natural stone to contemporary metals.
Low Water Pressure
Many homeowners in older homes, especially those with well systems, may be facing low-water pressure and are concerned it will affect a fountain. Pro Fence Solutions uses high-efficiency pumps to ensure that is not an issue.
Algae Growth
Algae growth can quickly turn a beautiful fountain into an eyesore.
Constant Refilling
Nobody wants to constantly be monitoring and refilling their water feature.
Ponds
Creating a Natural Ecosystem
Create a natural oasis in your backyard with a custom-built pond. We design and install ponds of all sizes, from small garden ponds, ideal for a cozy corner in your Vancouver, WA home, to larger, more elaborate ecosystems that could be the centerpiece of a larger property in Clackamas, OR.
Customization Options
We can incorporate features like aquatic plants, fish, and lighting to create a truly unique and captivating space. Furthermore, we can advise on the best fish and plant species for the local climate, ensuring a healthy and thriving pond ecosystem. In addition, underwater lighting can transform your pond into a magical nighttime feature.
Leaks
A leaking pond is a serious concern, potentially causing water damage and requiring costly repairs.
Predators
Homeowners are concerned about their fish, and other pond wildlife, being at risk.
Mosquitoes
Nobody wants a breeding ground for mosquitos in their backyard.
Waterfalls
The Soothing Sounds of Nature
Enjoy the calming sound of cascading water with a custom waterfall. There’s something inherently relaxing about the sound of moving water, and a waterfall brings that natural serenity right to your doorstep. We can create waterfalls of varying heights and styles, from gentle, trickling falls to dramatic, multi-tiered cascades.
Integration and Standalone Options
Waterfalls can be integrated into ponds or stand alone as a stunning focal point. Whether you want a dramatic waterfall cascading into a pond or a smaller, self-contained feature, we can design and build it to your specifications. Moreover, the versatility of waterfalls makes them suitable for a wide range of landscape designs.
Splashing
Excess splashing can lead to water loss and damage to surrounding plants and structures.
Noise Levels
For some, the sounds of a waterfall might be too loud, especially in a smaller yard or close to living spaces.
Energy Consumption
Waterfalls need pumps to circulate water, causing some homeowners to be concerned about the cost of energy consumption.
Streams
Dynamic Water Movement
Incorporate a natural-looking stream to add dynamic water movement and create a connected water system through your garden. Streams can meander through your landscape, connecting different water features or creating a standalone focal point.
Seamless Integration
Our custom streams are designed to fit seamlessly with the landscape, mimicking the natural flow and beauty of a real stream. We use natural stone and careful landscaping to create a realistic and aesthetically pleasing effect. Furthermore, a stream can add a sense of depth and movement to your garden.
Erosion
Without proper design and construction, a stream can cause soil erosion, damaging your landscape.
Water Loss
Water loss is a concern for homeowners, especially those conscious of conservation.
Blockages
Debris can build up and block the flow of water in the stream.
Pondless Waterfalls
Low-Maintenance Beauty
Enjoy the beauty and sound of a waterfall without the maintenance of a traditional pond. Pondless waterfalls are a great option for smaller spaces or for those who want a low-maintenance water feature. This is often a popular choice for families with young children in areas like Oregon City, OR, where safety is a primary concern.
Hidden Reservoir System
The water recirculates from a hidden reservoir, creating a continuous flow without the need for a visible pond. This not only reduces maintenance but also eliminates the standing water that can be a safety concern. Additionally, pondless waterfalls are incredibly versatile and can be installed in almost any location.
Safety Concerns
The open water of a traditional pond can be a safety hazard, particularly for families with young children or pets.
Limited Space
Many homeowners, particularly those with a smaller yard, may assume that they don’t have enough room for a water feature.
Upkeep Hesitations
Many homeowners may be hesitant to install a traditional pond due to the perceived upkeep.
Why a Water Feature is Important for Your Property
Increased Property Value
A Wise Investment
A well-designed water feature can significantly increase the value and appeal of your property. It’s not just an aesthetic upgrade; it’s a wise investment. It creates a unique selling point and adds a touch of luxury to your outdoor space, making your home more attractive to potential buyers. Many real estate professionals in the Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA areas agree that water features are highly desirable.
Curb Appeal
Beyond the monetary value, a water feature enhances the overall curb appeal of your home, making it a more inviting and attractive property.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Creating Visual Interest
Water features add beauty and visual interest to any landscape. They create a focal point and enhance the overall ambiance of your garden. Whether it’s the shimmering surface of a pond or the dynamic movement of a waterfall, water adds a captivating element to your outdoor space.
Versatility in Design
From modern to rustic, water features can be designed to complement any style of home and garden.
Stress Relief and Relaxation
A Natural Oasis
The sound of flowing water is known for its calming and therapeutic effects. A water feature can create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in your backyard, providing a retreat from the stresses of daily life. Imagine unwinding after a long day with the gentle sound of water in your own garden.
Mental Well-being
Studies have shown that exposure to nature, including water features, can reduce stress and improve mental well-being.
Fostering a Natural Ecosystem
Supporting Local Wildlife
Ponds and other water features can support local wildlife, providing a habitat for birds, frogs, and beneficial insects, enhancing biodiversity in your garden. This creates a small ecosystem in your backyard, bringing the beauty of nature closer to home.
Environmental Benefits
By attracting beneficial insects, you can reduce the need for pesticides and create a healthier environment for your family and pets.
