Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a pond with my waterfall?
No — pondless waterfalls are our most popular style. The water disappears into a hidden gravel-filled reservoir and recirculates through the pump. This eliminates drowning concerns for young children and pets, reduces maintenance, and avoids algae issues.
How much does a custom waterfall cost in Vancouver?
Small pondless waterfalls (3-5 feet tall) start at $6,500-$12,000 installed. Mid-size naturalistic designs with stream beds run $15,000-$30,000. Large, multi-tier rock waterfalls with mature planting and lighting can reach $40,000-$75,000+.
Will a waterfall really mask traffic noise?
Yes — a properly-sized waterfall with at least a 2-3 foot drop generates enough white noise (around 55-65 dB) to mask distant traffic, HVAC units, and neighbour noise. Our designs specifically tune the 'splash zone' rocks to achieve the sound you want.
How much electricity does a waterfall pump use?
Modern variable-speed pumps for residential waterfalls use 100-400 watts — roughly $15-$50 per month running 24/7 at BC Hydro rates. We size pumps carefully and often recommend timers so waterfalls run only during enjoyment hours.
Can I run my waterfall in winter?
Yes — in Vancouver's mild winters, most of our waterfalls run year-round and actually look stunning when ice forms on the edges. During hard freezes (below -5°C for extended periods), we recommend shutting down and draining the pump to prevent damage.
