The backyard is an opportunity for you to connect with nature, family, and friends.

By including water features in your yard, you will replace that boring grassy area with a landscape you’ll be proud to share!

Enjoy life relaxing on your patio, listening to the magical sound of a waterfall or flowing stream as you gaze upon your colorful koi, and flowering aquatic plants. Partner with the DMV’s top-rated pond contractor to transform your yard into an outdoor masterpiece!

Pondless Water Features Perfect Your Home's Outdoor Space

Ever want the comforts of nature and water without a full pond? Great News! You can still enjoy a water feature in your yard.

A pondless system is a water feature involving streams and waterfalls without a pond basin! Take advantage of the relaxing sound of running water and the enjoyment of a pond while all in less space than needed for a pond.

A pondless water feature is even less maintenance than one of our low-maintenance ponds. Let’s find the right pondless water feature to perfect your outdoor space.

  Premier Ponds was the only company willing to rebuild our original concrete pond, and they did an outstanding job. Jake, Sam, and Michael were all professional, knowledgeable, and great communicators. They showed us design options as they worked — even building part of the waterfall so we could choose between one cascade or two. We did have an issue with the initial build, but Premier handled it exactly the way you hope a company would. They took everything apart, found the problem, and rebuilt the pond at their expense. Mike, the owner, supervised the second build and made several aesthetic improvements, and the pond is now the best version it’s ever been. It’s holding water perfectly. We’re extremely satisfied with Premier Ponds and recommend them without hesitation.

  Three years ago we purchased a home that came with three koi ponds. We quickly realized our largest pond was having significant issues with water retention, and our waterfall had turned in to a geyser. Matthew and his crew came out that first year and helped us get everything stabilized, and redesigned and rebuilt our waterfall. Each year since, they’ve been out to clean and make additional updates to our ponds. This year Matthew and co completely renovated our third pond bringing it from a small, shallow mess to a stunning 3.5’ deep habitat for our youngest fish puppies. I know it’s a trek for them to come all the way down to Manassas, but we have been beyond pleased with every aspect of our experience with Premier Ponds and we cannot say enough good things about them. If you need any pond work done, or are looking to have a new pond constructed, this is your team.

  If your searching for a company to install your water feature, stop your search and choose Premier Ponds. They are an absolutely AMAZING company!!! I started my search with 4 different pond companies. It did not take me long to know that Premier Ponds was the company for us. The journey starts with Andrew the owner. Andrew from the very start, returned my text messages and emails IMMEDIATELY!!! This means alot to me, unlike the other companies that either took forever to respond or didn't respond at all. I also spoke with Andrew several times on the phone. He made sure that I understood everything that was going to happen with our project and made sure to answer any and all questions that we had. Next step in the process was Mike, field engineer, coming out to our house. Mike is a very nice and knowledgeable gentleman  that explained the entire procedure and made sure that we understood EXACTLY what was going to happen again answering any and all questions that we had. Finally the crew, Supervised by Kevin came out to do the Job. The crew was a group of VERY hard working , respectable young men that not only paid attention to staying on track with our project , but also kept our yard AND house very clean and clutter free. Kevin is a true Artist!!! He made our front yard look truly amazing with his attention to detail. Kevin and his crew basically took a part of nature and brought it to the front of our house. I am an avid hiker, so this means the world to me.....:-) Choose Premier Ponds for your water project. You will not be sorry!!!

  I built a backyard pond 30+ years ago that needed work to solve ongoing maintenance issues.  Premier Ponds totally rebuilt and reimagined it so that it is now our favorite part of the yard.  Matt and his team did a terrific job!

  I  was referred to Premier Ponds from another company who gave them high marks as they did not service my area. Andrew was responsive from beginning to the end of the process.  His professional demeanor and friendly communication provided a level of comfort and trust in dealing with the company.  Roger, Sam and Joe were professional, friendly and conscientious in performing the initial review of the work that needed to be done, and actual performance thereof.  They asked pertinent questions, asked my opinion on options of positioning the structures and lighting.  I could not be happier!  Definitely a "go to" company.  Thank you Premier Ponds!!!  My new water feature is beautiful!  We sat outside and enjoyed the new view and will be the envy of the neighbors!

  Had the team of Roger, Joe and Jake. I was noticing the water level go down in pond consistently for a couple of weeks. I called Premier to tell them, we had a great discussion and first step was to send the crew to clean and look for the issue. The team arrived did a fantastic job of cleaning the pond. Including removing many roots that were pushing the liner down. They also did a great job and noticed a part of the pump probably needed to be swapped out. After they did the cleaning and repair the leak has stopped. Wonderful experience will use them again and recommend you choose them if looking.

  Premier Ponds exceeded my expectations! They transformed my pond in just one day—and in the pouring rain, no less—and the results were even better than I had imagined. The team was upbeat, friendly, and clearly passionate about their work. It was a pleasure hearing them genuinely enjoy the project as they worked. They were incredibly thorough, making sure every detail was just right and that I was happy with the final result. Their pricing was far more reasonable than their competitors, and I was able to get an installation appointment within a month of meeting with Mike. I wholeheartedly recommend Premier Ponds—they’re top-notch from start to finish!

  We have been using Premier Ponds for almost 2 years and we couldn't be more pleased. We bought a home that had a pond and had no idea how to take care of it. We contacted Premier Ponds and spoke with Andrew who listened to our questions and we were told they would be more than happy to help us. We set up an appointment with Sam who came out and took a comprehensive exam of our pond, answered all of our questions and made suggestions. He did not pressure us into anything.  It was apparent he wanted to educate us.  After discussing everything he had explained we decided to try them out.  We started with a basic cleaning and wanted to see what we could do on our own after that to maintain the pond.  Sam was open to that and made recommendations of how WE could take care of our pond. We realized after the first year we wanted Premier Ponds to do a yearly maintenance on our pond as it was more involved than we realized at the time. We are very happy with our decision.  They are professional, respectful of our property, informative and there has never been any pressure to purchase any product or service. We HIGHLY recommend Premier Ponds!!

  Premier Pond built us a beautiful 4000 gallon pond here in Germantown, Maryland. The pond looks beautiful, the stone and boulders, the waterfall, the fish caves, the overall design…Everything is just perfection. Premier Pond Really delivered on our project and I would recommend them 100%.

  One of the best business experiences of my long life. The company and its employees care deeply about quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction. They went out of their way to make sure I was thoroughly satisfied with their work.  I could not have been more pleased! I recommend them highly and without the slightest reservation!

  When we researched a pond system company, we were initially very nervous, and then so fortunate to have picked Premiere Ponds which had the best website, testimonials, and quality. Premiere Ponds designed a new biofalls system that solvedl a structural probem in our existing system. They provided multiple options to solve and create our pond. Our pond system is crystal clear, beautiful with plants, and the koi love their new home and ecosystem. Andrew and Roger participated in all phases of the construction, and adaptation of our pond, and we had complete confidence! A++++++++++++ all the way. Pick Premiere Ponds as your Pond company!

  Premier Ponds did a great job fixing our leaking pond. The water level was low enough to expose several inches of the plastic liner and the water was not level with the surrounding flagstones. They came up with a great solution, and the end result is fantastic. Great crew - knowledgeable, exacting - true pond artisans. Our pond is not an eyesore any longer and we are looking forward to enjoying it for a long time to come. Thanks, Premier Ponds!

  Premier Ponds has been my trusted partner  in servicing and maintaining my pond for the past 22 years.  On Friday late afternoon my pond pump failed.  I spoke with Roger about my issue and concerns for my fish.  Roger said the schedule was full, but he would be willing to come  on Sunday morning.   After diagnosing the situation and pulling the pump, Roger pulled leaves and mulch from the pump filter.   A few more diagnostic tests and the the pond was back in working order.   Thank you Premier Ponds!  Thank you Roger!   I highly recommend Premier Ponds - truly a dependable and reliable partner.

FAQs Homeowners In Ask Us

Here are the answers to the most common questions people ask a pond contractor:

Are backyard water features worth the cost?

While water features might not directly increase your home’s monetary value, they undeniably boost its aesthetic appeal.

Where should I put my water feature?

The placement of your water feature depends on your garden’s layout. Ponds work well where they can be seen from windows or outdoor living spaces. Pondless waterfalls can be situated near entrances, in corners, or even stretching down a hillside. For gardens with a formal design, central placement of a fountain can create a captivating focal point, or consider positioning it at a pathway intersection. In more informal gardens, a fountain can be subtly located in a corner or along a garden path.

Which outdoor water feature is easiest to maintain?

Fountains, particularly bird baths, are simple and easy-to-maintain water features. They not only enhance your garden but also invite wildlife into your outdoor space. With no need for pumps, filters, or expensive installation, bird baths are an economical way to introduce a water element to your yard.

How expensive is it to run a backyard water feature?

The operational cost of a water fountain can differ based on its size and type. Generally, expect to spend around $27 per month to run a water fountain, though this can vary between $11 and $50.
