See our water features before you call
Real fountains, waterfalls, and pool features across Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and Santa Barbara counties, built into the hardscape we install with the same crew.
The sound that makes a backyard feel like a retreat
Moving water does something no other feature can: it softens street noise, cools the air, and gives the whole yard a sense of calm. Genesis designs and builds water features sized to your space, from a compact bubbling fountain to a full pondless waterfall or a spillway into your pool, finished in stone and paver materials so they belong to the hardscape rather than sit apart from it. We size the pump and plumbing to run quietly and efficiently, and we can keep maintenance low with pondless and recirculating designs.
Water features to fit your yard and the sound you want
From a soft trickle to a fuller rush, we build the feature to the scale of your space.
Fountains & Waterfalls
- Bubbling, disappearing, and urn or vessel fountains
- Pondless waterfalls with a hidden basin
- No open standing water, family-friendly
- Low-maintenance, recirculating designs
Pool & Spillway Features
- Sheer-descent and spillway features into a pool
- Raised walls with water spilling into the water
- Integrated with the pool deck and coping
- Designed with the surrounding pavers as one
One crew ties the water into the whole space
A water feature looks best when it is designed together with the pavers, the coping, and the pool around it, not dropped in after the fact. Genesis holds eight California contractor’s licenses, so the same crew builds the feature, runs the plumbing and electrical for the pump and lighting, and sets the surrounding hardscape, all on one schedule. The result reads as part of the yard, with the stone, the water, and the paving all speaking the same language.

We Build It
One crew builds the feature, runs the plumbing and lighting, and sets the surrounding hardscape on a set schedule, and we stand behind the work.
Since 1993 and 15,000+ projects, with the same team on your water feature
Genesis is not a call center that dispatches subcontractors. The people who quote your water feature are the people who build it, and they are named throughout our reviews. Genesis holds eight California contractor’s licenses, so one team legally handles the plumbing, the masonry, and the pavers.

“Roger showed up for the estimate in the rain and gave us a quote that was very reasonable. He helped us choose the stone and color. We had the driveway and front walkway done too.”
“Fernando explained the entire process and the sales tactics that others like System Pavers use to upsell. If you want honest advice and good work, go with Genesis.”
“I had some sunken areas in the pavers. Genesis kindly sent their crew and fixed it. Happy with their service and ethics.”
“Daniel led us from design through execution, and the BBQ island he designed is money. All my friends love it.”
“Fernando and his crew did an outstanding job creating beautiful tier planters with veneer and white capstones. We received many compliments from our neighbors.”
