Water Features

Sound and movement — the one thing a landscape can’t fake.

Overview

You Hear It Before You See It

Moving water changes how a yard feels. It softens road noise, brings birds in, and gives the space a centre that planting alone can’t. It’s the element people remember about a garden.

We build pondless waterfalls, streams, ponds, bubbling boulders and formal fountains. The stone is set so the water looks like it found its way through rather than being placed there — and the basin, liner, pump and plumbing are sized so it runs quietly and keeps running.

A water feature build includes:

  • Placement worked out for sound, sightlines and where you actually sit
  • Excavation, liner and basin with proper overflow
  • A correctly sized pump, plumbing and auto-fill
  • Filtration and skimming where the feature needs it
  • Natural boulder and stone set to look native to the site
  • Lighting in the falls and pools
  • Planting that ties the feature into the surrounding landscape

Water Features We’ve Built

Waterfalls, streams, ponds and bubbling boulders across the Wasatch Front.

Breakdown of Services

Every Kind of Water We Build

Naturalistic or formal, a bubbling boulder by the door or a multi-tier fall across the whole slope.

Placement & Sound Design

We position the feature so you hear it where you sit — and from the rooms that open onto the yard.

Design & Grade Planning

Fall height and run worked out against your existing slope, so it reads as natural rather than stacked.

Pondless Waterfalls

All the sound and movement with no open water — the reservoir sits hidden below the stone.

Streams & Creek Beds

Meandering runs with riffles and pools that make a long garden feel like it has a spine.

Ponds & Koi Ponds

Proper depth, shelving and circulation for plants and fish, with skimming and bottom drains.

Bubbling Boulders

Drilled stone with water welling over the top — the simplest feature, and the easiest to live with.

Fountains & Water Walls

Clean-lined formal water for entries, courtyards and modern architecture.

Basins, Liners & Vaults

Reservoirs and pump vaults sized for the flow, with overflow and access designed in.

Pumps & Plumbing

Pumps matched to head height and flow, plumbed to run quietly and sip power.

Filtration & Auto-Fill

Filtration, skimmers and automatic top-up so the feature isn’t a weekly chore.

Underwater Lighting

Lighting set into the falls and pools, so the feature works after dark too.

Aquatic & Edge Planting

Marginal and aquatic planting that settles the stonework in and softens the edges.

“From the planning to the final result, All States exceeded our expectations. Greg's 3D landscaping plans brought incredible vision, and the waterfall became a stunning natural focal point. The paver installation was seamless — precise cuts around boulders and curved areas that added beauty we hadn't even imagined. Did the final result exceed expectations? An enthusiastic YES — the backyard turned out even better than we imagined.”

“Our front yard was in dire need of attention, and Garrett and his team transformed it into a beautiful zeroscaped design that perfectly reflects our personalities. We love the rocks they used and the paw designs they incorporated — such a fun, personal touch. Garrett was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. We are beyond grateful and have already shared their contact with friends and family.”

“After an exhaustive search for the right landscaping company we finally settled with Ken Doyle and All States Landscaping. Our experience was first class. The project was a complex one and required a company and crew with the knowledge, tools and resources to get it done. Ken’s crew started the project ahead of schedule, finished early and was on budget. We are delighted with the end result.”

“We recently had All States Landscaping upgrade the waterfall feature in our backyard, and we couldnt be happier with the results. The whole thing looks incredible the rockwork, the flow, the lighting everything feels polished and intentional. And the sound is amazing. It has that perfect, relaxing waterfall vibe that makes the whole yard feel like a little getaway. The crew was easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and clearly knew what they were doing. Its such a huge improvement, and were genuinely thrilled with how it turned out. Highly recommend them for any landscaping upgrades or water feature work.”

Our Process

From Quiet Yard to Running Water

A water feature is equal parts stone-setting and plumbing. Here’s how it comes together.

01

We listen to the yard

Where you sit, what you’d like to drown out, and which windows you’d want to hear it from. Sound drives the placement as much as the view does.

02

We design and size it

Fall height, flow rate, pump and basin all sized together — then drawn against the grade you have, with a clear number.

03

We dig, line and plumb it

Excavation, liner, basin and vault, plumbing and electrical, all in before a single display boulder is set.

04

We set the stone and start it up

Boulders placed and adjusted until the water runs right, then we start it with you and show you the pump, valves and winter shut-down.

Our Guarantee

A Promise We Stand Behind

A landscape is a big investment. Here’s what you can count on from the first visit to long after the last stone is set.

Licensed & Fully Insured

Complete liability coverage and documented work, so your property and your investment are protected.

One Team, Start to Finish

Design, hardscape, planting and irrigation are all handled in-house by our own crews — never subcontracted out.

We Stand Behind the Work

If something isn’t right, we make it right. And we’re still a phone call away long after the project is done.
