Check out the following frequently asked questions about building a pondless water feature with the right components and supplies.
- How do you build a pondless water feature?
A pondless water feature provides the soothing sights and sounds of flowing water without an exposed waterbody.

Backyard water features include pondless fountains, cascading waterfalls, and decorative water feature fountains. Adding water feature lighting creates a striking focal point both day and night.
