Our water features abound with keen attention to detail and pure, wild inspiration, evoking the natural world in ways that plants alone cannot.
Water features are beautifully raw and elemental. Consisting primarily of stone and water, they add a new level to the sensory experience of a garden.
The addition of aquatic and marginal plantings can tie a water feature to the surrounding landscape and truly bring them to life.
North Arrow Landscapes designs and builds water features of all sizes, including:
SUITS ANY STYLE: Within certain bounds, any space can suit a water feature. Perhaps a cast concrete water curtain is just the dynamic touch your modern or contemporary landscape was missing!
We combine thoughtful material choices with creative layouts and dynamic, natural waterfalls, streams, and pools in a way
that makes our work recognizable and unique in our area.
Many years of travel and exploration has equipped our team with the necessary vision to build gorgeous water features. This life experience gives us an intuitive understanding of how to build water features that look established and behave naturally.
Rather than relying solely on mechanical hardware, we prefer to keep waters clear by building a beautiful, fully functioning aquatic habitat known as a biofilter.
Thoughtful design is an essential component of any low maintenance water feature, and it all starts at the planning phase.
You want to spend your time enjoying a water feature, not maintaining it. That's why water features built by North Arrow Landscapes are easy to maintain, with most of the upkeep taking place on an annual basis.
The biofilter in your water feature works hard to keep water clear, however as a living ecosystem it does take some time to mature. In the meantime, we will recommend and supply ecologically-friendly treatment products to filter out the nutrients that otherwise feed the organisms in any biofilm. This will keep your water clear while also maintaining a safe drinking and bathing area for the birds and the bees in your neighbourhood.
NO BIOFILTER? For smaller water features like gurglers that won’t support a biofilter, we will provide the right product to keep both the water and the system clean.
Beyond water clarity, typical maintenance activities include:
Yes, but only for water features installed by North Arrow Landscapes. However, as our systems are designed from the ground up for easy maintenance, we can educate you on how to maintain your water feature yourself, should you be so inclined.
