Backyard Feature Feature Ideas That Work
At Sequoia, we design backyard water features that make your outdoor space a place you’ll actually want to spend time in. Whether it’s a quiet spot to relax, a centerpiece for entertaining, or just a little something to add style—you’ll find an option that works for you.
Waterfall
A great way to bring movement and calming sounds to your yard. It works on its own or with a pool or pond. Go for natural stacked rocks or a modern touch with sleek scuppers or weirs.
Fountain
A simple way to add charm and character to your backyard. Whether it’s a classic tiered style or a sleek modern design, a fountain can be a cool focal point or a subtle accent that blends right in.
Splash Pad
A fun and safe way for kids and pets to cool off. It’s got no standing water, so it’s worry-free. Turn it on when you want, and when you’re done, it’s just another part of your yard.
Pond
A pond brings a natural, relaxing vibe to your yard. Fill it with koi, plants, or smooth river rocks to create a quiet little escape. Add a waterfall to make it even more calming.
Lazy River
The ultimate backyard luxury. A slow-moving current carries you around the yard, making it the perfect place to kick back and relax. If space is tight, a curvy pool can give you a similar feel.

“Great experience all around! The Sequoia team has done a fantastic job on our rather a larger-scale project. Both Will and Haley went above and beyond to ensure our project stayed on track despite a couple of changes along the way, which was much appreciated as we began the work in March with a hope to complete it by early June to have the whole summer to enjoy our new beautiful outdoor space. To our delight, the work was done right as planned! The Sequoia team has been very responsive throughout the project (and even after we finished the work!), gave us a lot of useful insights, and were very focused on delivering 100%+ on things that mattered to us. Thank you, Sequoia team - we really appreciate your partnership!
