Douglas County Water Features and Waterfalls

🌿 Douglas County Water Features and Waterfall
Designed by Land Systems West
Nestled in the heart of Douglas County, this water feature exemplifies the seamless integration of environmental engineering and landscape artistry. Designed and installed by Land Systems West, the project serves as both a functional stormwater solution and a visual centerpiece for the surrounding community.
💧 Purpose Meets Elegance
This feature was engineered to manage runoff from adjacent hardscapes while enhancing the natural beauty of the site. It incorporates:
•    Tiered retention basins that slow and filter stormwater
•    Native stonework and boulder placement for erosion control and visual impact
•    Aquatic plantings selected for seasonal interest and ecological benefit
•    Recirculating pump system that maintains water movement and clarity
🛠️ Engineered for Performance
Designed to accommodate 100-year rainfall events, the system includes:
•    Underground chambers for overflow mitigation
•    Precision grading to direct flow and prevent pooling
•    Compliance with Douglas County stormwater regulations
•    Integrated sediment traps for long-term maintenance ease
🌸 Aesthetic Harmony
Beyond its technical function, the water feature was crafted to complement the surrounding landscape. The design draws inspiration from Colorado’s natural waterways, with:
•    Meandering stream paths and cascading falls
•    Strategic lighting for nighttime ambiance
•    Seating areas that invite reflection and community gathering

Stormwater retention Ponds

Retention ponds in Douglas County designed by Land Systems West exemplify the balance between regulatory compliance and natural aesthetics. Engineered to manage peak stormwater flows from 100-year rainfall events, these ponds incorporate precision grading, sediment forebays, and native vegetation to ensure long-term functionality and ecological harmony. Each installation is tailored to site-specific hydrology, blending seamlessly into the landscape while meeting county standards for water quality and volume control.

Waterfalls and Water features

Water features crafted by Land Systems West in Douglas County are more than decorative—they’re dynamic expressions of landscape engineering and natural design. Each installation is tailored to its environment, combining recirculating systems, native stonework, and aquatic plantings to create tranquil focal points that enhance both residential and public spaces. Whether it's a cascading stream, a reflective pond, or a sculptural fountain, these features are built to harmonize with Colorado’s terrain while offering low-maintenance, high-impact beauty year-round.

Pondless Waterfalls

Pondless waterfalls by Land Systems West offer the soothing sound and visual appeal of cascading water—without the maintenance of a standing pond. Ideal for Douglas County’s varied terrain and water-conscious landscapes, these features use hidden reservoirs and recirculating systems to create a dynamic flow that disappears into the earth. Each installation is custom-crafted with native stone, strategic elevation, and low-profile pump systems, delivering a naturalistic look that blends seamlessly into gardens, entryways, or public spaces. The result is a safe, efficient, and visually striking water element that elevates any outdoor environment.
