Disappearing Waterfall

Pond Free Waterfalls or Pondless Waterfalls

Nicknamed the “Disappearing Waterfall, Pond Free Waterfalls, or Pondless Waterfalls” these features still give the sounds and tranquility of a pond with stream and waterfall, while giving the illusion that the water is disappearing. With a minimal need for upkeep, reduced water use, and the ability to adapt to small spaces, this is fast becoming one of the most popular water features being installed in St. Charles, Illinois & Chicagoland area. Where certain constraints such as limited space can make a traditional pond or stream impossible, this is the perfect solution when a waterfall without the maintenance of a pond is desired.

To give the waterfall functionality, an underground reservoir collects water at the rock and gravel bottom, and a pump recirculates the water to the top of the feature. This results in having almost no pooled water, which would pose a threat to small children, or where liability would be a concern.

​Pondless waterfalls rarely require full cleanouts, making them a lower maintenance option. Other than the occasional refilling of water, due to evaporation, these are considered virtually maintenance-free. Also considered budget-friendly, this is a less expensive alternative to a traditional pond. A pondless waterfall’s pump can be turned off when going on vacation, or set on a timer to turn off during the evening hours. This feature does not allow room for fish, so this also eliminates that added responsibility and the need for a pump to run continuously. 

Pondless waterfalls can still have aquatic plants and be made to blend in with your surroundings beautifully. They are a great choice for retirees, those with young children, or people that enjoy a traveling lifestyle. If you live in St. Charles, Kane County, Illinois, or the Chicagoland area, consult with your Ponds Inc of Illinois representative who will be happy to assist you in determining if this water feature is best suited for you.

Creeks & Streams

Landscape Creeks, Streams & Waterfalls

Gilberts, Chicagoland & Kane County, Illinois (IL)

A flowing landscape stream, with several small waterfalls, creates a melody of sound soothing to the ears. There is something about seeing water flowing over a bed of rocks, surrounded by the beauty of lush plantings, that makes you instantly feel as though you are miles away from civilization. Imagine that feeling in your Chicagoland area backyard. Whether it is a small stream leading into a pond, or a larger one wrapping around an expansive property; incorporating a creek or stream is a great way to transform ordinary land into a natural element.

Ponds Inc of Illinois (IL) can help design and build the landscape stream of your dreams. A landscape of hills and slopes with wooded areas is a natural fit for a waterfall and stream. The shallow nature of streams makes it easier to work around roots. Flat landscapes are capable of having streams as well, with the right amount of stones to give proper height.

Your landscape stream & waterfall can also originate from a pondless waterfall intake system. We design and build with some curves and turns, as well as narrow and wider areas to facilitate a more natural sound and look to your stream.
