Water Feature FAQ: Bend, Oregon Homeowners Ask

A water feature can completely transform the atmosphere of a Bend outdoor space — adding the sound of moving water, attracting wildlife, and creating a focal point that draws the eye. Here are the questions we hear most often.

What types of water features do you install?

• Pondless waterfalls — the most popular choice in Bend
• Koi ponds with filtration systems
• Bubbling boulder and millstone fountains

How much does a water feature cost in Bend?

A simple bubbling boulder or container fountain costs $1,500–$4,000 installed. A pondless waterfall — the most popular choice in Bend — typically costs $4,000–$12,000 depending on size and complexity. A full koi pond with filtration can range from $8,000 to $30,000+.

We provide free, itemized estimates after an on-site consultation.

Do water features work in Bend's cold winters?

Most water features need to be winterized in Bend. Pondless waterfalls and fountains should be shut down and drained before the first hard freeze (around October 15th). Koi ponds can often run year-round with a de-icer to maintain a small open area in the ice.

We offer water feature winterization and spring startup services as part of our seasonal maintenance program.
