Bring Movement and Sound to Your Landscape
Decorative pond and water feature installation throughout Ocean & Monmouth county.

A pond or water feature changes the feel of your property by adding movement, sound, and visual interest that static landscaping cannot provide. You hear the water before you see it, and that sound pulls attention toward the feature whether it is placed near an entrance, patio, or garden bed.


Capstone Landscape Design installs decorative ponds and water features for residential homes, office buildings, HOAs, and large properties throughout Ocean and Monmouth county. Each installation is designed for balance, proper filtration, and long-term performance, with attention to how the feature fits into the surrounding landscape. Estimates are available to explore design options and placement.

What Happens After the Water Starts Running

Installation starts with site evaluation and excavation. The pond basin or feature structure is shaped, lined, and connected to a filtration system and pump. Rocks, plants, and edging are placed to blend the feature into the surrounding landscape.


Once the system is running, you will notice how the water moves and reflects light throughout the day. The sound masks background noise from traffic or neighbors, and the feature becomes a focal point that draws people toward it. Proper filtration keeps the water clear and balanced, reducing algae buildup and limiting maintenance needs.


Capstone Landscape Design builds water features that hold up to seasonal temperature shifts, freeze-thaw cycles, and humidity common in Brick, Manasquan, Wall Township or the surrounding areas. The feature is designed to integrate with your existing landscaping, whether that means a naturalistic pond surrounded by plants or a modern fountain set into hardscape.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Homeowners and property managers in Ocean and Monmouth county often want to know how much maintenance a pond requires, whether fish can be added, and how the feature will perform through winter.

How much maintenance does a decorative pond require?

Most ponds need daily, weekly or seasonal cleaning, filter checks, and occasional plant trimming. Capstone landscape design installs systems designed to minimize algae growth and keep water balanced with less hands-on work.

Can I add fish to the pond?
Yes, ponds can be designed to support fish if you want them. The depth, filtration, and aeration are adjusted to create a stable environment for koi or goldfish.
What happens to the pond in winter?

Ponds in New Jersey can freeze on the surface during cold months. If fish are present, a heater or aerator keeps part of the water open to allow gas exchange and prevent harmful buildup under the ice.

How long does it take to install a pond or water feature?

Most residential pond installations take on average two to three weeks, depending on size and complexity. Larger or more detailed features may take longer.

What kind of filtration system is used?
Ponds are equipped with pumps and biological or mechanical filters that remove debris and support beneficial bacteria. The system is sized to match the volume of water and the type of feature you want.
