Ponds, waterfalls and fountains Jordan has built

This is the water feature portfolio of Jordan's Water Garden Solutions: koi ponds, pondless waterfalls and fountainscapes built around Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County and Charlottesville by Jordan Blanton, an Aquascape Certified Contractor. Every photo and clip is from his own jobs. Koi ponds start at $275 per square foot, pondless waterfalls at $2,000 per linear foot, and a single fountain starts at $5,300.

Two of these projects have their own page with the before, during and after. The rest are single photos and clips from the job, and tapping one opens it full screen. Jordan adds to this page as projects finish and takes the older ones down.

A stacked slate urn fountain with water running down its ridged sides — **Stacked slate urn fountain**A stacked slate urn bubbling over onto gravel, with the basin and pump hidden underneath. Running in deep snow in January, and lit at dusk in Midlothian.

A spillway bowl pouring into a stone basin among plants and driftwood — **Spillway bowl on a hidden basin**A shallow stone bowl pouring one steady sheet of water onto rock, with the basin and pump hidden under gravel, driftwood and plants.

An ecosystem pond with water lilies and a garden bench on the far bank — **Lily pond with a bench**An ecosystem pond with a log edge, lilies and a bench for the evenings.

Koi swimming through clear water below a stone edge — **Koi under the stone edge**Clear water and a shelf of stone the fish hide under when the heron comes by.

A pondless waterfall tumbling between large boulders into a gravel bed — **Pondless falls between boulders**A fall tumbling between big boulders into a gravel bed, with no open water at the bottom.

A waterfall pouring over a stone ledge into a pool of amber pebbles — **Stream over amber pebbles**Water sheeting off a stone ledge into a pool of amber pebbles.

A half-drained backyard pond during a spring clean-out, with goldfish in the shallow water and hoses and a shop vac on the edge — **Spring clean-out, half drained**Goldfish holding in the shallows while the pond is drained, washed down and refilled.

A tall waterfall crashing down a stack of rough boulders — **A tall waterfall over rough boulders**A tall drop over rough boulders, the kind of waterfall Jordan adds to a pond you already have.

Photos and clips are Jordan's own, taken on the job. Some were taken in winter or at dusk on purpose: a water feature has to look right then too.

Your yard next

Send Jordan a photo of the spot

The quickest way to find out what fits is a picture. Text a photo of the corner, the slope or the patio edge to (804) 719-4761 and say what you want to hear from the house. Jordan will tell you whether it wants a pond, a creek or a bowl, and the estimate calculator gives you a range before anyone visits.

If one of the projects above is close to what you have in mind, say which. A photo of your yard next to a photo of his work is most of a design conversation.

What to look for

Four things in every one of these photos

No liner showing. Every inch is under boulders, cobbles or gravel, in the finished shots and in the during shots once the water is on.
The water lands on something. A fall drops onto stone or into a pool, a bowl pours onto rock, an urn runs over slate. That landing is where the sound comes from.
Plants in the edge. Irises, daylilies and lilies sit between the stones at the waterline, so the feature reads as a stream bed or a pond, not a stone trench.
Seasons. A pond in deep snow with the fountain still running, a clean-out with the fish in the shallows, an urn lit at dusk. The work has to hold up in January and after dark.
