Designed for Beautiful, Natural Water Gardens

Our water garden pond kits are built around a maximum depth of 24 inches—ideal for aquatic plants, goldfish, and small koi. Each pond includes:

• Multiple stepped-down plant shelves (water lilies, marginal plants, bog areas)
• A natural pond bottom finished with pea gravel for easy cleaning (no debris trapping drain rock or river rock)
• Rock-supported submerged vertical walls
• Natural boulder-built waterfalls

Aquatic plants are installed directly into the pea gravel, creating a natural ecosystem that enhances water clarity, supports healthy fish, and provides stunning beauty.

 

Easy Maintenance with Hydro Vortex™ Filtration

Say goodbye to annual pond cleanouts. No more annual draining and pressure washing.

The Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter is a patented, backwashable pond filter that makes cleaning fast and easy—without disassembling the filter or draining your pond.

How it works:

• Use a garden hose to "fluff" debris from the pea gravel
• Large debris is captured in the HydroClean™ pond skimmer for easy removal
• Fine debris is captured in the Hydro Vortex™ filter for easy removal
• Empty and rinse the HydroClean™ pond skimmer net and brushes
• Backwash the Hydro Vortex™ waterfall filter

Pair with HydroFloc™ water clarifier for crystal-clear results in hours - not days.
