Why Choose Our Ecosystem Water Features?
The most common complaint about water features is the maintenance they require. At Inspirational Waterscapes by Green Lion, we design and build ecosystem water features that are not only beautiful but also functional and easy to maintain. With over 25 years of experience, we have developed innovative ways to create nature-inspired features that can be enjoyed for years to come.
1. Advanced Filtration System
We install a dual filtration system, combining both a traditionalmechanical filter and a biological plant filter. This system works in harmony with nature to create a healthy ecosystem and maintain crystal-clear water.
2. Innovative Natural Skimmers
Our natural skimmers are integrated into the pond rather than placed outside, making them completely hidden and leak-proof. This design ensures that your water feature remains aesthetically pleasing while functioning effectively.
3. Efficient Koi Ponds
Our koi ponds are equipped with a bottom drain, significantly reducing waste and maintenance. This feature allows for easier cleaning and promotes a healthier environment for your fish.
4. Unique Pondless Streams
Our pondless streams feature a unique design that enhances creativity and interest. These streams provide the soothing sounds of flowing water without the maintenance of a traditional pond.
With our expertise and commitment to quality, you can enjoy the beauty of an ecosystem water feature without the hassle of excessive maintenance. Experience the tranquility and elegance of nature in your own backyard.
What Our Customers Are Saying
My front yard is awe inducing. People walk or drive from around the neighborhood to view, hear, feel... It’s become an everyday experience for folks to stop just to enjoy the experience. We spend many more hours sitting on the front porch to enjoy the foliage, the waterfall and stream, and the abundant birds that now like to hang out in this unique urban expression of the natural world that used to be an average front lawn I go to sleep every night with the sound of a waterfall replacing the usual cacophony of urban noise.
I have the folks at Inspirational Water Features to thank. They did the design - taking my vague dream and making it real - and the installation - a challenging labor executed beyond expectation. The work was done efficiently and at a fair and reasonable cost. The final product is a work of art for all the senses. If you want to enhance the beauty of where you spend most of your time, if you want to be more in nature at home these are the folks to talk to!
— Bob, Modesto, CA
“Green Lion Landscape completely transformed our backyard in Modesto into a peaceful oasis. We had a vision for a custom water feature with natural stone and a koi pond, and their team brought it to life better than we imagined. From the design process to the final installation, every step felt professional, creative, and deeply personal. The quality is top-notch, and the crew was respectful and detail-oriented the whole time. Our neighbors in Tracy are already asking who did the work — we couldn’t recommend them more!”
— Jessica M., Tracy, CA
