What could be better than the sound of flowing water? It becomes more special when it comes from your yard. The backyard waterfall makes the whole space lively, and the soft sound of water features can turn even the quietest corner into your favorite place to unwind.

At Backyard Depot, we have a wide range of water features that make warm Oklahoma days feel more refreshing. Whether you have a small garden in Nowata County or a wide-open backyard in Creek County, choosing the right waterfall isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re here to have a brief overview of the points you need to keep in mind when picking the perfect waterfall for your backyard. 

1. Think About Your Space

Firstly, consider the size and layout of your outdoor space to get to know what can go well with it. For a big backyard, you might want something more dramatic, like a multi-tiered waterfall that becomes the focal point of your landscape. For Smaller gardens or narrow side yards, you can choose from large-mounted features that add charm without occupying much space. 

Our team has worked on properties across Creek County and Nowata County, and we believe every yard’s needs are different. That’s why we always help our customers find the waterfall that fits their unique space just right.

2. Match Your Style

Your outdoor space should complement the interior feel of your home and your personality perfectly. If your interior is aesthetic and modern, then you can go for contemporary and sleek features. But if you prefer a more natural and rustic look, go for natural rock waterfalls that blend beautifully into Oklahoma’s landscape.

With the wide range of options and customization available, Backyard Depot is ready to transform your backyard into what feels right for you and how you want your backyard aesthetics.

3. Choose the Right Flow

Do you imagine a soft, gentle trickle or a more dramatic, steady flow? Different styles of waterfalls offer different sounds and movements, and both can be beautiful in their own way.

We install everything from small garden waterfalls with hidden reservoirs to larger waterfall systems connected to ponds. The amount of sun your yard gets, how big it is, and how frequently you are available for maintenance will all help determine what would be the best waterfall option for you.

4. Think About Maintenance

While all water features need a little care, some are easier to maintain than others. For the Olkhlama summers, a pondless waterfall for your backyard is a great option if you’re looking for something that’s both beautiful and low-maintenance. 

Maintenance is something we always take into account when designing your waterfall so you can spend more time enjoying it and less time worrying about it.

5. Plan with Safety in Mind

If you have kids or pets, safety is a must. We make sure the waterfalls we install have proper pump covers, stable rock placement, and shallow basins where needed, without compromising on design.

We’ve installed family-friendly waterfall features in Oklahoma, always keeping peace of mind and beauty in balance.

6. Invest in Long-Term Value

Waterfalls are more than just decoration; they can boost your home’s value, making it more appealing, and turn your yard into a space you can actually use. 

At Backyard Depot, we don’t believe in shortcuts. From your first consultation to the final placement of each stone, we handle every detail with care.
