Water Feature and Water Management Solutions in the Twin Cities, MN

Custom water features designed and installed by Home & Grounds — from peaceful fountains to dramatic waterfalls — crafted to elevate your Northern Twin Cities landscape.

Outdoor Water Features

Water can become a serious issue for many homeowners in the Twin Cities. Heavy rain, snowmelt, and poor drainage often cause water to collect in low areas of the yard. This standing water can damage lawns, patios, and landscaping if it is not managed properly.

Home and Grounds installs outdoor water features while also addressing water management and irrigation needs. Our team designs systems that move excess water away from problem areas and redirect it to locations where it can drain safely.

Water Management for Pooling Backyards

Many properties across the Twin Cities have grading challenges that allow water to pool after rain or snowmelt. This usually happens in low sections of the yard or near patios and foundations.

Home and Grounds evaluates the slope of your property and installs drainage solutions that move water away from these areas. Water can be redirected through underground drainage systems and routed to areas of the yard where pooling does not occur. Proper grading and drainage help protect your outdoor living spaces and maintain a healthier lawn.

Irrigation and Drainage Solutions

Water management often works alongside irrigation systems. While irrigation distributes water to keep grass and plants healthy, drainage systems ensure excess water does not remain trapped in the soil.

Our team can install systems that support both controlled irrigation and efficient drainage. This balance helps prevent oversaturation while maintaining proper moisture levels throughout your landscape.

Water Feature Design and Installation

In addition to drainage and irrigation planning, Home and Grounds designs decorative water features that enhance outdoor living spaces. These features add movement and sound while complementing patios and landscape layouts.

Common water features include:

Decorative garden fountains
Stone waterfalls built into landscape designs
Pondless waterfalls with recirculating water systems
Water walls that create a modern focal point
Natural rock features integrated into patios or hardscapes

Each feature is designed to blend with surrounding hardscape and landscape elements while maintaining reliable water circulation.

Protect and Improve Your Outdoor Space

Proper water management protects your yard from erosion, standing water, and drainage issues. At the same time, well designed water features can add visual interest and a relaxing atmosphere to your outdoor space.

Home and Grounds combines landscape design, irrigation planning, and drainage solutions to help homeowners across the Twin Cities manage water effectively.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: What types of water features do you build?

We build ponds, pondless waterfalls, stream features, fountains, bubbling rock features, and decorative urns. Whether you want something subtle or dramatic, we'll design the right feature for your space.

Question 2: How do water features hold up in Minnesota winters?

With proper winterization, water features do very well in Minnesota. Pumps are removed and stored, water levels adjusted, and features shut down for the season typically in October. We provide a complete winterization guide.

Question 3: Are water features hard to maintain?

Not with the right design. We engineer our water features with quality filtration and pump systems that minimize maintenance. Most homeowners spend less than an hour per month on upkeep during the active season.
