G&G Landscape designs and builds ponds, recirculating waterfalls, fountains, and pondless features for commercial properties and residential landscapes.
A well-built water feature adds a focal point to any landscape—but it has to be engineered to function in Wyoming's climate. G&G Landscape builds custom ponds, recirculating waterfalls, stand-alone fountains, and pondless water features for properties across Gillette, Sheridan, Buffalo, Casper, Douglas, Sundance, and Spearfish.
For commercial properties, we construct water features that serve as entry focal points, courtyard centerpieces, or common-area amenities. These installations are built with commercial-grade pumps, heavy-duty liners, and plumbing sized for continuous operation. For residential clients, we build backyard ponds with waterfalls, stream beds, bubbling rock features, and pondless systems that deliver the sound and movement of water without open standing water.
Every water feature we install is designed around its specific location—accounting for grade, soil conditions, water source, electrical access, and winter freeze protection. G&G Landscape handles the full build: excavation, liner, plumbing, pump installation, stone work, and startup.
We meet on-site to discuss the type of feature, its location, and how it fits into the overall landscape plan. We assess grade, access to water and electrical, sun exposure, and viewing angles. The design is tailored to the property—there are no pre-built kits involved.
The feature is excavated to the designed profile, with shelves, depth zones, and overflow paths shaped into the earth. Underlayment fabric is laid first, followed by heavy-duty EPDM or reinforced liner material. For pondless features, a buried basin with a grate and reservoir is installed to collect and recirculate water.
Pump, skimmer, and biological filter components are installed and connected with flexible PVC plumbing. Pump sizing is matched to the volume of the feature and the head height of any waterfalls or fountains. Electrical connections are run to a dedicated GFCI circuit.
Natural stone, boulders, and gravel are placed to create the visible edges, waterfall drops, and stream beds. Stone placement is the step that transforms an engineered system into a feature that looks like it belongs on the site. We use locally sourced stone whenever possible.
The feature is filled, pumps are tested, and flow rates are adjusted. We check for leaks, tune waterfall splash patterns, and make final stone adjustments. Before we leave, we walk you through pump operation, seasonal shutdown procedures, and basic maintenance.
Recirculating features with proper filtration need relatively little maintenance. Skimmer baskets should be emptied weekly during the season. Biological filters benefit from a cleanout once or twice per year. Pondless features are the lowest maintenance option—no open water means less debris and no algae concerns. We provide a seasonal maintenance schedule specific to your feature at handoff.
Some features can run through winter, and some should be shut down. Waterfalls and streams with sufficient flow can operate in cold weather—the moving water resists freezing and creates dramatic ice formations. Still-water ponds should have a de-icer or aerator if fish are present. Pondless features are typically shut down and drained for winter. G&G Landscape designs each feature with a winterization plan from the start.
Pump sizing is based on the total water volume, the vertical lift (head height) from the pump to the highest point of the feature, and the desired flow rate at the waterfall or fountain outlet. Oversizing wastes energy and creates too much turbulence. Undersizing leaves the feature looking weak. We calculate the correct pump specification for every installation and spec energy-efficient models that keep operating costs reasonable.
Yes. G&G Landscape builds water features for office complexes, retail centers, municipal parks, HOA common areas, and hospitality properties. Commercial installations use heavier-duty pumps, larger-diameter plumbing, and more robust basin construction to handle continuous operation and public access. We coordinate with general contractors and landscape architects on spec, schedule, and site access.
