Water Features in London, Ontario
Make room for the sound of water.
Upper Canada Landscape designs and builds ponds, waterfalls and water walls for London and surrounding Southwestern Ontario communities. Explore our work and find the right service for a new feature or an existing pond.
Ponds, waterfalls and water walls
Water features are a UCL specialty. Our work ranges from garden ponds to large, complex waterfalls, including waterfalls incorporated into pools. These examples show different ways water can become part of the landscape.
Backyard ponds
An open pond creates a garden focal point alongside stone and planting. Its shape, edges and surrounding space influence how you see and enjoy the water.
Think about where you will sit, leaf fall, access for cleaning, and whether fish or aquatic plants are part of the idea.
Natural stone waterfalls
Water moving over natural stone brings movement and sound to the yard. Height, flow and stone arrangement shape whether it feels like a quiet backdrop or a more noticeable feature.
Consider the sound from the patio, splash near paths and how the waterfall connects to a pond or pool.
Water walls
A water wall introduces flowing water through a defined stone or masonry form. It can work beside a patio or in a garden with a more structured layout.
Consider the viewing angle, nearby seating, splash and access to the water collection area for care.

Find the right water-feature service
A new pond, an overdue cleanout and a feature that needs rebuilding call for different conversations. Start with the work you have in mind.
Pond installation
For a new backyard pond, begin with the setting, the space available and how you want to use it. Share your ideas and how the pond could fit into the wider landscape.
Pond cleaning
For accumulated leaves, sludge or debris, explore the cleaning service. Its scope depends on your pond’s condition and the work agreed before booking.
Pond repair, updates and rebuilds
For water loss, changes in flow or a feature you want to update, explore the repair page. UCL considers repairs, updates and rebuilds where the project is a suitable fit.
Need seasonal care? Fall pond closing is available. Describe your feature and the work needed so we can discuss the scope and availability. Specialized pond care is separate from general property maintenance.
PLANNING BEYOND THE VIEW
Choose a feature you can live with
The right feature should suit the yard today and remain practical to look after. These decisions belong in the planning conversation.
Position and integration
Consider the view from the house and patio, nearby paths and where children or pets spend time. The sound should suit how you use the space, while the feature works with existing patios, planting and pools.
Drainage, ground and stonework
Yard slope, runoff and ground conditions affect where a feature belongs and how the area is prepared. Stone placement and construction access also need to work with the surrounding patio, pool or garden.
Equipment and ongoing care
Leave room to reach pumps and other components. Nearby trees, plants and the type of feature affect upkeep. Cleaning and winter shutdown needs vary by system, so discuss seasonal care and the upkeep you are comfortable with when choosing a design.
What affects the cost?
A compact water wall and a large pond with a waterfall involve different amounts of work. Size, excavation, stone or masonry, construction access, pumps, water circulation and surrounding landscape work all influence the quote. Share your priorities and budget early so the scope can be discussed clearly.
From your first idea to the finished feature
For a new feature, you do not need a finished design to get started. Some homeowners bring a clear idea; others want help seeing what could work in an existing yard or a new landscape.
01 · Discuss the space
We discuss your ideas, review the property and inspect or measure as needed. Bring your questions, the parts of the yard you want to retain and a budget you are comfortable discussing.
02 · Refine the scope and quote
Concepts, samples and material choices help make the plan clearer. We follow up where needed and prepare a quote for the agreed scope, including related landscape work.
03 · Agree on timing and build
We discuss anticipated timing before construction. The schedule depends on the scope, existing commitments and seasonal conditions; weather and the scale of the work affect progress.
A water feature can be a focused addition or part of a larger landscape build. If the patio, planting or wider yard also needs attention, explore our landscape design and construction services.
