WATER FEATURES IN ROCHESTER, NY
Custom ponds, waterfalls, fountains, and streams that bring the soothing sound and beauty of water to your landscape.

THE BEAUTY OF WATER
There is nothing quite like the sight and sound of moving water in a landscape. A well-designed water feature becomes the focal point of your outdoor space — a place that draws you outside, calms the mind, and adds a dimension that no other element can replicate.
At Westside Professional Landscape, we design and build water features that are tailored to your property, your aesthetic, and your lifestyle. Whether you envision a naturalistic waterfall cascading over native stone, a tranquil koi pond, or a sleek modern fountain, our team has the expertise to bring it to life. We've been creating water features for homeowners across Pittsford, Brighton, Penfield, and the greater Rochester area for over 26 years.
WATER FEATURE OPTIONS
From intimate backyard installations to grand estate features, we offer a full range of water feature designs.
PONDS & KOI PONDS
A garden pond creates a living ecosystem in your backyard. We design ponds with proper filtration, aeration, and plant shelves to support aquatic life — from decorative koi to native plantings. Rochester's climate requires specific depth considerations for overwintering fish, and we engineer every pond with the local freeze line in mind.
- Proper filtration & aeration
- Fish-safe depth engineering
- Aquatic plant integration
WATERFALLS & STREAMS
Cascading waterfalls and meandering streams add dramatic movement and sound to any landscape. We use natural boulders and native stone to create features that look like they've always been part of your property. Our recirculating systems are efficient and low-maintenance, with pumps sized for reliable year-round operation.
- Natural boulder construction
- Recirculating pump systems
- Multi-tier cascade designs
FOUNTAINS & BUBBLERS
For properties where a full pond isn't practical, fountains and bubbling rocks deliver the calming presence of water in a compact footprint. These self-contained features are ideal for courtyards, entryways, patios, and small gardens. Minimal maintenance, maximum impact — perfect for busy homeowners in Webster, Fairport, and surrounding communities.
- Self-contained systems
- Low maintenance
- Bubbling rocks & columns
MAINTENANCE & WINTERIZATION
Water features in Rochester need seasonal care. We provide spring startup services, routine maintenance through the season, and fall winterization to protect your investment from freeze damage. Our maintenance programs include pump inspection, filter cleaning, water treatment, and debris removal to keep your feature running beautifully.
- Spring startup & fall shutdown
- Pump & filter service
- Water quality management
