Feature Repair & Cleanup
A water feature in high desert sounds like a contradiction until you build it right. The trick is recirculation: the same water cycles instead of evaporating away, so you get the sound and movement of water without pouring it into the ground. Done well, it belongs in a
Reno yard.
Why a Water Feature Works in Reno
A recirculating water feature uses a fraction of the water people assume. The basin holds it, the pump moves it, and you top it off now and then.
It is not a pond you refill; it is a closed loop that runs on the same water for the whole season.Moving water also does something a rock yard cannot: it cools the air around it, covers street and neighbor noise, and gives you a reason to sit outside. In a xeriscape, it is the one element that adds life.
And it pairs with what All In already does. A fountain drops into a paver patio, a waterfall anchors a xeriscape, a spillway finishes a retaining wall. Water features are not a separate project; they are the finishing move on a good yard.
Why Reno Homeowners Choose All In for Water Features
A water feature is not a one-and-done drop-in. The basin has to be sized to the flow, the pump has to match the head height, and the plumbing has to be buried and accessible at the same time, or you are digging it up in two years to fix a fitting.
The rock has to be set so the water reads right, not just dumped in a pile. We build features that look like they belong and run like they should, then show you the handful of things to check each season so it keeps doing both. That is the difference between a feature and a maintenance headache.
What sets our Reno Xeriscape team apart:
25+ Years in Northern Nevada: We know what survives our winters, our sun, and our water rules, and we build features that account for all three.
Built Around Your Yard:
How you actually use the space, decide where a feature goes and how big it should be. We design around the yard you have, not a catalog photo.
One Crew, Start to Finish: The crew that runs the plumbing is the same one that sets the stone and tunes the pump, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Licensed & Insured: Fully licensed and insured, so anything we build on your property is covered and done to code.
Our Water Feature Process
01.
Free on-site walkthrough
We walk the property with you, look at the yard, the grade, and where you spend time, and talk through what kind of feature fits: a quiet fountain, a full waterfall, or something built into the hardscape.
02.
Custom design & install
You get a real plan: the feature type, the placement, the basin and pump sizing, and a clear price. No vague 'water feature' line item. You know what you are getting and what it costs before we break ground, so there are no surprises when the crew shows up.
03.
A yard that thrives
The install isn't done when we drive off. We run the feature, tune the flow, and walk you through the simple seasonal checks: top off the basin, rinse the pump screen, watch the water level. Five minutes, not a chore.
Additional Information About Water Features in Reno, NV
Water feature process in Reno, NV
A water feature project usually starts with a site walkthrough, moves to a design and quote, then to install once the plan and price are set. Simple fountains can go in fast; larger waterfalls and features built into hardscape take longer and are often done alongside a patio or xeriscape project.
Water feature timing in Reno, NV
Spring and fall are the strongest install windows in Reno, same as our other landscape work, but a water feature can go in most of the year since it is not dependent on planting season. We'll tell you the best window for your specific project when we quote it.
Water feature cost in Reno, NV
Water feature projects in Reno vary widely: a small fountain is a modest add-on, while a large custom waterfall built into a hardscape is a bigger investment. Cost depends on size, materials, pump and basin work, and access. We quote each one after seeing the space.
What Reno Homeowners Say About Our Fountains
★★★★★
I highly recommend Juan and team for all of your garden and landscaping needs. He is very trustworthy and provides a good price. He works very hard and does what needs to be done and on time! I will definitely use him again. He did a wonderful job putting in pavers that I needed done for a new hot tub!
James Cross

Carlos and his crew came over and installed a 70' retaining wall, over 700sq ft of pavers, a block fire place, a gazebo, and lights through out the install! He showed true craftsmanship and drive to exceed my expectations, trust the vision and he'll create it!
Tony Silva
★★★★★
I had an emergency landscaping need because my landlord was doing a walk through. I called everyone nobody could work on Sunday. All in Hardscapes & Landscape said they could. They showed up timely and professional, I am so thankful for the work

FAQs
Do water features waste water in a desert climate?
No, if they are built to recirculate. A properly built feature runs the same water in a closed loop, and you just top off what evaporates. It uses far less water than a lawn, which is why a fountain fits fine in a xeriscape.
How much maintenance does a water feature need?
Less than people expect. Top off the basin, rinse the pump screen now and then, and keep debris out. Pondless features skip the pond upkeep entirely. We show you the routine at handoff, and it is minutes, not hours.
What is a pondless waterfall?
It is a waterfall with no open pond. The water disappears into a hidden, rock-filled basin and recirculates back to the top. You get the sound and movement of a waterfall with no standing water, no drowning risk, and less maintenance.
Can you add a water feature to my existing yard or patio?
Yes. Most of the features we build are added to a yard, patio, or xeriscape that is already there. We work the plumbing and basin in cleanly without tearing up the whole space, and match the feature to what you already have.
Do you repair water features you did not build?
Yes. We diagnose and fix pumps, leaks, and algae problems on features other people built, not just our own. If it is worth saving, we'll tell you; if it is not, we'll tell you that too.
Ready to ditch the lawn?
A well-designed xeriscape cuts your water bill, gives you back the weekends you lose to mowing, and still looks like a yard you actually want to come home to. For help planning the right install for your lot, call +1 775-204-3617 and talk to someone who builds these for a living.
