Backyard Water Feature Design and Installation

A backyard water feature can be as simple as a bubbling rock or as involved as a multi-tier waterfall feeding into a natural pond. T&T designs and builds both. We start with a property walkthrough to evaluate your yard’s grade, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and existing landscape. From there, we create a plan that fits your space, your budget, and your intended use, whether that’s a focal point for entertaining or a quiet feature you enjoy from a patio or screened porch.

We handle excavation, liner installation, pump and filtration systems, stone placement, and all planting around the feature. The result is a water element that looks like it belongs on your property, not something dropped into the yard from a catalog.

Pondless Water Feature Installation in Mount Pleasant, SC

Pondless water features are one of the most popular requests we get from homeowners in Mount Pleasant and across East Cooper. These systems circulate water over rocks, into a hidden underground reservoir, and back through the pump, giving you the look and sound of flowing water without an open pond. They’re lower maintenance, safer for properties with young children or pets, and work well in smaller yards.

T&T installs pondless waterfalls, disappearing fountains, and bubbling rock systems. Each one is built with a properly sized basin, commercial-grade pump, and natural stone selected to match your property’s existing aesthetic.

Custom Water Feature Builder in Charleston, SC

Some projects don’t fit a standard template. T&T builds custom water features using natural stone, boulders, and materials sourced to complement the Lowcountry landscape. If you have a specific vision, a stream running through a garden bed, a stone spillway integrated into a retaining wall, or a water feature built into an outdoor kitchen area, we can design and build it.

Timothy Fowler works directly with clients on custom builds. You’ll have a written scope, a materials list, and a clear timeline before any ground is broken.

Garden Fountain Installation and Setup

Garden fountains add movement and sound to flower beds, side yards, and small courtyard spaces. T&T installs self-contained garden fountain units as well as built-in-place features using stacked stone, ceramic basins, or cast elements. We connect each unit to a dedicated water supply and electrical source, test the flow rate, and adjust positioning so the fountain works with your garden’s layout, not against it.

For properties near Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, or Folly Beach, we also factor in salt air corrosion resistance when selecting materials and pump components.

Water Feature Repair and Maintenance

Existing water features need regular service to run properly. T&T provides pump replacement, liner repair, filtration cleaning, algae treatment, and full system diagnostics for fountains, ponds, and pondless features. If your current water feature was installed by another company and has stopped working or is leaking, we’ll assess the system and give you an honest recommendation, repair or replace.

We also offer seasonal maintenance contracts. These cover spring startup, mid-season cleaning, fall leaf protection, and winter shutdown procedures specific to Charleston’s mild but unpredictable climate.
