Modern water features in corten steel and stone
For a cleaner, more modern look than a boulder waterfall: rusted corten steel water columns bubbling into a basin, steel spillways pouring into a rock stream, and courtyard water walls.
Like our waterfalls, they run over a hidden basin under the rock — so there's no open pond to skim and very little water lost.
Steel water columns lit at night — one of our own jobs.
Is this right for you?
A good fit if…
- You have a modern home and want a water feature that matches.
- Your space is a small yard, side yard or courtyard.
- You want something striking by the entry or driveway.
How we do it
Step by step.
- 1
Build the hidden basin
A reservoir under the rock holds the water and the pump.
- 2
Set the steel
Columns, spillways or walls are set level and anchored, with plumbing run inside.
- 3
Stone and light
Boulders and river rock around the steel, and lights in the basin so the columns glow at night.
Utah weather & soil
Why a hidden basin suits Utah
Open ponds lose a lot of water to evaporation in our dry, sunny summers. Storing the water underground and only letting it show where it pours from the steel keeps evaporation — and topping off — down.
It's also easier through a Salt Lake winter: with no open pond to freeze, the system is drained or shut down for the cold months and started again in spring. Corten steel hides hard-water marks far better than smooth stone or paint.
What it costs
What moves the price.
We don’t give prices over the phone, because a number for a yard we haven’t seen is a guess. Jason walks it with you and you get a written estimate — free, with no obligation.

What people ask us.
Will the steel rust onto my concrete?
Corten weathers to its brown finish over the first year or so and can stain concrete it drips onto during that time. We place it so runoff doesn't land on your drive or walks.
Can the columns be made to size?
Yes — height, number and finish are all up to you.
