One Team. Every Kind of Water Feature.

A water feature is one of the fastest ways to turn an ordinary backyard into a place you never want to leave. The sound of moving water lowers stress, masks street noise, and gives your outdoor space a focal point that other landscaping just can't match.

AquaReale has been designing and installing water features across the Greater Philadelphia region since 2000. Whether you want a full ecosystem koi pond, a disappearing waterfall in the front yard, or a simple bubbling urn on the patio, we build it, guarantee it, and maintain it.

This page is your starting point. Below you'll find the four main types of water features we install, a quick "which one is right for me" guide, and answers to the questions most homeowners ask on the first call.

Water Feature FAQs

'Water feature' is the umbrella term for any professionally installed source of moving water in your landscape — koi ponds, disappearing waterfalls, fountains, bubblers, formal reflecting pools, and streams. AquaReale designs and installs all of them across the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey area.

It depends on the type. Bubbling fountains typically start around $5,500, disappearing waterfalls from $7,500, and full koi ponds from $12,000. Try our free calculator for an instant ballpark for your specific vision.

Start with how you want to use it. Want fish? Choose a koi pond. Want the sound without the maintenance of an open pond? A disappearing waterfall. Small patio or fastest install? A fountain. Our 2-minute quiz gives a personalized recommendation.

Fountains are typically installed in a single day. Disappearing waterfalls in 3-5 days. Full ecosystem ponds usually 1-2 weeks depending on size and site conditions.
