Project type 03
Pondless Waterfalls
All of the sound and sparkle — no open pond. Water disappears into a hidden basin under the gravel.
Pondless waterfall design & installation · Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton & Sarasota
All of the sound. None of the open water.
Where you’d expect a pond there’s only gravel and stone — underneath, a lined basin cycles the water. Strong fit for compact lots and many HOA yards.
- 01
Hidden basin
Gravel-covered basin with a pump vault — no standing open water.

Front entries, courtyards and side yards.

Topping up, leaf clearing, occasional cleanout. Switch it off when you travel.

Before you book
What does a project cost?
Size, stone, access and features drive the price. Use the project estimator for a ballpark, then Sean confirms a written estimate after a site visit.
What does the design consultation cost?
For new builds, the design consultation is $75, credited toward the job if you move forward. Repairs and maintenance have no consult fee unless it is a full renovation. Book before Nov 15 and your design consult is free.
How long does installation take?
It depends on size, stone, yard access and whether your HOA needs plans approved first. You get a schedule with the written estimate.
How much upkeep does it need?
A skimmer and biological filter do the daily work. Pondless needs topping up, leaf clearing and an occasional cleanout; a koi pond needs a little more attention in summer.
Will it attract mosquitoes or wildlife?
Moving water doesn’t give mosquitoes a still surface. Pondless has no open water. Herons and raccoons visit ponds, so we build in depth, overhangs and fish caves.
Do you look after it once it’s built?
Yes — cleanouts, repairs and maintenance plans for ponds, pondless waterfalls and fountains, ours or someone else’s. Maintenance plans are open to anyone. No membership needed.
What do Oasis memberships include?
Oasis Membership is coming: two annual memberships, Oasis Family and Oasis Elite, launching with our new website, pricing included. Annual payment only: both are paid annually, one payment for a full year of perks. Oasis Family (smart savings for the water feature you love): member pricing on maintenance, 2% off new projects, and early access to deals. Our promos hit your inbox before they go public, so you book first. For example: the current free design consult when you book before Nov 15. Oasis Elite, the full Oasis experience: everything in Family, plus member discounts in the Oasis store, first dibs on visit times in the busy season, when the calendar fills fast, and exclusive Elite perks.
