Pots & Water Features

Water features and custom pots serve a specific role in landscape design: they create a focal point that anchors a space and gives it a sense of permanence and personality. A well-placed glazed pot grouping at a front entry sets the tone for the entire property before a visitor reaches the door. A small pond with a waterfall built into a stone wall turns a corner of the backyard into something genuinely memorable. These aren't afterthoughts — they're the details that make outdoor spaces feel designed rather than assembled.

Pond construction is one of the more technically demanding services we offer, and it's one Premier Outdoors has a strong track record in. A koi pond requires proper excavation to the right depth, a quality liner with appropriate overlap and anchoring, the correct filtration and aeration system for the fish load, and careful attention to the planting and rock work around the edge so the pond integrates naturally with the surrounding landscape. We build ponds in a range of sizes and configurations — from small decorative features to larger koi ponds with waterfalls, bog sections, and underwater lighting.

Multi-level glazed pot water features are a lower-maintenance alternative to in-ground ponds that deliver the movement and sound of water without the excavation or filtration requirements. A well-chosen sequence of glazed pots — stacked at different heights with water circulating from the top vessel down through each level — creates a striking entry feature or patio focal point that runs on a small recirculating pump and requires minimal upkeep. We source custom glazed pots in a range of sizes, colors, and finishes and design the arrangement to match the scale and style of the space.

Lighting is almost always part of any water feature installation we do. Submersible LED fixtures placed beneath the surface of a pond or at the base of a waterfall create an effect at night that's completely different from what the feature offers during the day. Underwater lighting extends the enjoyment of a water feature into the evening hours and is particularly well-suited to properties used for entertaining. We integrate the lighting system into the overall low-voltage landscape lighting plan so everything runs from the same controller.
