Tulsa and Surrounding Area Water Feature Installers
Tulsa’s Trusted Water Feature Specialists
Arrow Outdoor Living is Tulsa’s most trusted name when it comes to creating custom waterfalls, fountains, ponds, streams, and bubblers across the entire Tulsa metro. There’s something about moving water that transforms a backyard — shimmering waterfalls bring relaxing sounds to your lawn while adding visual appeal that’s undeniable, and fountains serve as soothing focal points that can be as dramatic or subdued as your space demands. As a dedicated water feature installer serving Tulsa and surrounding areas, we design and build custom water features that turn your landscape into your own private retreat.
Customized to your style and taste, Arrow Outdoor Living can transform your landscape into a stunning display of colors, textures, and sound — with exotic koi fish, flowing streams, cascading waterfalls, and graceful fountains surrounded by the soothing aroma of night-blooming lilies. Whether you want a small bubbler fountain tucked into a flower bed, a dramatic three-tier waterfall as the centerpiece of your backyard, or a full naturalistic pond with koi and water lilies, our design team will walk your property, listen to your vision, and create a water feature that fits your space, your style, and your lifestyle.
Natural Stone Waterfalls
Natural stone waterfalls are one of our most requested water features — and for good reason. A well-designed waterfall creates the kind of dramatic landscape focal point that instantly elevates an entire backyard. The sight of water cascading over hand-placed natural stone, the constant gentle sound that drowns out neighborhood noise, and the visual movement that draws the eye from across the yard all combine into an experience that nothing else in a landscape can match.
We build waterfalls in every size and configuration — from subtle, low-profile waterfalls that accent a pond edge to dramatic multi-tiered structures that stand several feet tall and run the length of a backyard. Each waterfall is hand-built with carefully selected natural stone, engineered for proper water flow and sound quality, and designed to complement your existing landscape. Our waterfalls can be built as part of a full pond system, as pondless features that recirculate into a hidden basin, or as integrated elements of a larger landscape with streams and creek beds feeding into them.
Custom Outdoor Fountains
Fountains are the most versatile water feature we build. They fit virtually any space — from tiny courtyards to sprawling estate landscapes — and they deliver the soothing sound of moving water without requiring the space or maintenance of a full pond. We design and install custom outdoor fountains in a wide range of styles including classical tiered fountains as formal landscape focal points, modern architectural fountains with clean geometric lines, natural stone bubbler fountains that look like water springing from the earth, disappearing fountains where water vanishes into a gravel bed, and wall-mounted fountains perfect for patios and courtyards.
Every fountain we install is designed with proper water circulation, quality pumps, and long-term performance in mind. We size each pump for the specific feature, install quality plumbing that won’t fail prematurely, and position fountains where they’ll deliver the best visual and auditory impact. Whether you want a fountain as a standalone feature in your landscape or integrated into a larger water feature system, we build it to last.
Pondless Waterfalls and Disappearing Fountains
Pondless waterfalls are one of the fastest-growing water feature categories in the Tulsa market. Unlike traditional ponds, pondless water features recirculate water through a hidden underground basin filled with gravel — so you get all the beauty and sound of a waterfall or fountain without any standing water, fish care, or pond maintenance. This makes them ideal for families with small children or pets, homeowners who love the look of moving water but don’t want the responsibility of a pond, or anyone with limited space where a full pond wouldn’t fit.
Pondless designs work beautifully as standalone backyard features, as low-maintenance water elements in front yards and entryway landscapes, and as integrated features beside patios and outdoor living spaces. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide whether a pondless design or a traditional pond is the better fit for your goals.
Custom Ponds and Koi Ponds
For homeowners who want the full ecosystem experience — fish, aquatic plants, and a genuine aquatic environment — we design and build custom ponds and koi ponds. A well-built pond is a living landscape feature that changes throughout the seasons, supports fish and plants, and creates a tranquil garden destination right in your backyard. We design ponds sized appropriately for koi (which need adequate depth and volume to thrive), incorporate proper filtration and aeration, and integrate natural stone edges, planting shelves, and waterfall features that make the pond look like it has always been part of your landscape.
Every pond we build is custom-designed for its location, sized to fit the space and your maintenance preferences, and engineered with quality liners, pumps, and filtration systems that deliver long-term performance.
Streams and Creek Beds
Streams and dry creek beds are one of the most underrated landscape features we build. A meandering stream connecting a waterfall to a pond creates visual movement, soothing sound, and habitat variety across your entire yard. Dry creek beds — which contain no running water but use carefully placed river stone to suggest the look of a natural stream — serve as beautiful landscape accents while also providing practical drainage solutions for areas that collect rainwater. We design both in ways that look completely natural, as if the landscape had formed itself that way over time.
Bubblers and Small Water Accents
Not every water feature needs to be dramatic. Bubblers are small, low-profile water accents that deliver the sound and visual interest of moving water in a compact, low-maintenance package. We install bubblers in flower beds, beside patios, near front entryways, and as accents throughout larger landscapes. They’re the perfect solution for homeowners who want the benefits of a water feature without committing to a large installation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Features
What's the difference between a pond, a pondless waterfall, and a fountain?
All three use moving water, but they offer very different experiences. A pond is a full aquatic environment with standing water — it can support fish, aquatic plants, and wildlife, and it requires ongoing care to maintain water quality and ecosystem health. A pondless waterfall delivers the beauty and sound of moving water without standing water — the water recirculates through a hidden underground basin filled with gravel, making it much lower-maintenance and safer for families with small children or pets. A fountain is typically a smaller, more architectural feature that serves as a decorative focal point. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose based on your goals, space, and maintenance preferences.
How much upkeep do water features really require?
It depends heavily on the type. Pondless waterfalls and disappearing fountains are the lowest-maintenance option — they basically need a pump check, occasional cleaning, and periodic water top-off during hot dry months. Small fountains are similarly easy. Full ponds with fish require more attention — periodic cleaning, water quality monitoring, filter maintenance, and seasonal care for plants and fish. If low maintenance is a priority, we typically recommend pondless designs or self-contained fountains rather than full ponds.
Can water features be used year-round in Oklahoma?
Most water features can operate year-round in Oklahoma with proper design. Pondless waterfalls, disappearing fountains, and well-built ponds continue running through all but the coldest stretches of winter — the moving water itself helps prevent freezing. During extreme cold snaps, we recommend shutting down smaller fountains and bubblers temporarily, but full ponds and larger waterfalls typically run through the winter. We’ll walk you through proper winter operation and shutdown procedures during your project so you get maximum year-round enjoyment.
Do ponds need fish, and what about algae?
Ponds don’t require fish, but most pond owners love adding them for the visual interest and personality they bring. Koi and goldfish are the most popular choices for Tulsa-area ponds, and they actually help with ecosystem balance by eating algae and insects. Algae is a normal part of any pond ecosystem but can be controlled through proper pond design — adequate filtration, appropriate plant selection, correct pond depth, and balanced fish load all matter. We design ponds with ecosystem balance in mind so algae stays at healthy levels without constant chemical treatment.
How deep does a koi pond need to be?
Koi need adequate depth to thrive, especially through winter. We recommend a minimum depth of three feet for koi ponds in Oklahoma, with four feet being ideal for larger ponds. This gives koi enough water volume to regulate temperature during summer heat and a cold layer at the bottom to survive winter ice. Deeper ponds also deter predators like herons. During your design consultation, we’ll recommend the right depth based on the size and species of fish you want to keep.
Will my water feature use a lot of electricity?
Water features are more energy-efficient than most people expect. Modern pumps are dramatically more efficient than they were even ten years ago, and we size each pump appropriately for the specific feature so you’re never running more pump than you need. A typical residential waterfall or pondless feature adds relatively little to your monthly electric bill — usually far less than a pool pump or central air unit. During your consultation, we’ll discuss pump sizing and long-term operating costs so you have realistic expectations.
Can a water feature be added to an existing landscape?
Absolutely. Most of the water features we build are added to existing landscapes rather than installed during new construction. We work carefully around existing plants, hardscapes, and structures to integrate the water feature naturally into what’s already there. In some cases, we’ll recommend adjustments to surrounding landscaping to enhance the finished look — but in most projects, a new water feature can be added with minimal disruption to the rest of your yard.
