Water Feature Installation
The sound of moving water by the patio. Arbuckle Outdoor Living builds water features sized for Indianapolis backyards.
Water Features
Small Ponds, Fountains and Pondless Waterfalls
Moving water changes how a yard sounds. It softens street noise and gives you something to watch from the patio. Arbuckle Outdoor Living builds custom water features in Indianapolis: small ponds set within a landscape, fountains and pondless waterfalls. Each one is planned as part of the yard around it, with plantings and landscape lighting that tie it in.
What’s Included
Water Features We Build
Small Ponds
A small pond set within your landscape beds, framed by plantings.
Fountains
A fountain as a focal point in a bed, by an entry or near the patio.
Pondless Waterfalls
The look and sound of a waterfall, with the water recirculating underground instead of collecting in an open pond.
Pond Installation Sized for a Landscape
Our ponds are small and built into the landscape, not large standalone ponds. That keeps them in scale with a typical backyard and lets the plantings around them do a lot of the work. A small pond tucked into a bed near the house can be enjoyed from a window or the back steps, and it doesn't take over the yard.
Pondless Waterfall and Fountain Installation
A pondless waterfall is a good fit if you want the sound of water without an open pool to look after. Fountains are simpler still and work well in smaller spaces. Both pair nicely with a paver patio, so you can hear the water from your seat.

Water Feature Contractors Who Build the Whole Yard
Because we also handle landscape design and planting, the pond or fountain doesn't look dropped in. It's placed and planted to belong where it sits.

Questions & Answers
Pond, Fountain and Waterfall Questions
Still have a question? Call or text (317) 374-0258
What types of water features do you build?
Small ponds set within a landscape, fountains and pondless waterfalls. We don't build large ponds.
Do ponds and fountains need a lot of upkeep?
All of them need some care, like keeping debris out and the water topped off. Pondless waterfalls and fountains generally need less than an open pond because there's less standing water exposed.
Do you service water features after they're installed?
Yes. Seasonal care for your pond, fountain or waterfall can be part of our spring and fall cleanups.
Can a fountain or waterfall go next to a patio?
Yes, and it's one of the best places for one. You get to enjoy the sound while you sit outside.
Can you light a fountain or waterfall at night?
Yes. Low-voltage accent lights make the moving water show up after dark.
