What types of water features does Gardens of the World build?

Water features range from pondless waterfalls and streams to features integrated directly into a custom swimming pool design, along with standalone fountains for smaller spaces. Each feature gets built to match the scale of the property and the surrounding landscape design. Materials and stonework get selected from the company's own outdoor living center, keeping the water feature consistent with other hardscape elements on the property. Sound and movement both factor into the design, since a water feature often serves as a focal point for the surrounding space.

How much maintenance does a water feature require?

Water features require periodic cleaning and seasonal upkeep to keep pumps, filters, and stonework functioning properly. Pondless waterfalls and streams generally need less ongoing attention than a feature with standing water, since there's no open basin collecting debris. Seasonal shutdown and startup matter in climates with winter freezes, protecting equipment from damage. Gardens of the World's landscape maintenance division handles this upkeep for homeowners who prefer not to manage it themselves.

Using Pool Waterfalls to Shape the Sound and Mood of Your Backyard

June 15, 2026

For homeowners in Andover, NJ, and the surrounding North Jersey area, a waterfall design needs to feel natural within the landscape while fitting the way you relax, host and spend time outside.

The ideal pool waterfalls change the way your backyard feels the moment you step outside. Sound, movement, stone placement, water flow, lighting, planting design and pool layout all work together to create a more immersive outdoor experience.

Our team designs and builds pool waterfall features with the entire outdoor space in mind. The goal is not to place a generic water feature beside the pool. Our specialists study the grade of your property, the shape of the pool, nearby patios, planting beds, seating areas and sightlines, then create a waterfall that belongs in the setting.

Your Garden. Your World.

At Gardens of the World, we draw inspiration from global landscapes to create stunning outdoor environments that reflect your unique taste and lifestyle. With over 50 years of experience, our family-owned business is dedicated to crafting exceptional gardens that stand the test of time.
