Ponds, Waterfalls, Water Gardens & Rainwater Harvesting
What is it about the sound of water that brings peace, rest, and solitude to the mind? The splashing sound of waterfalls, the beauty of water gardens, or the tranquility of ponds designed to enhance your landscape can create a pleasurable haven in your own backyard. Whatever you desire in the way of water features for your surroundings, the Deck and Patio Company can bring the soothing and calming effects of water to your landscape.
Ponds and pond-less water features also provide a means for Rainwater Harvesting, which creates beauty as well as saves water and our ecology.
Pond Aesthetics
“I have this great space in the back of my property for a pond…”
We cannot tell you how many times a client has come to us with the idea of putting a pond into the background. While the acoustics are soothing, the beauty is lost because the pond tends to be out of sight and out of mind. The designers at The Deck and Patio Company incorporate ponds into active space rather than just using it for space filler. Building a pond alongside and in maximum view of the home’s deck, patio, window or door, allows a deeper enjoyment in the beauty and interactive environment a pond can provide.
One of the most graceful elements to bring to your landscape is a pond and a waterfall integrated into your surroundings. The Deck and Patio Company is a certified dealer and installer of AQUASCAPE INC.™ water systems and can bring a low maintenance pond, stream and waterfall onto your property.
AQUASCAPE INC.™ has years of experience in designing and building water garden products that are both technologically and biologically efficient. As an authorized pond contractor and installer, Deck and Patio can provide high efficiency pumps, skimmers, biological filters for the garden ponds as well as gravel beds, elegant waterfalls and water plants as a part of a total biological system. Rainwater Harvesting systems can support beautiful water features, fountains and waterfalls, while ecologically collecting and reusing rainwater.
We also can provide pond maintenance and seasonal services.

Why Rainwater Harvesting?
The earth is known as the Blue Planet for a reason, and it’s no surprise that water is a dominant part of our everyday lives. The worlds current challenge is to improve the planet’s water quality and maintain clean and healthy water that supports all life forms in our diverse environment.
The Deck and Patio Company designs and installs residential, commercial and industrial Rainwater Harvesting Systems in the Long Island, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut areas. These systems provide an excellent ecological solution for the smart usage of water in irrigation systems as well as ponds, fountains and waterfalls. Additionally, they can significantly reduce the consumption of municipal water, thereby helping our overburdened water supply systems, and saving money in water bills – a “WIN / WIN” situation.
The Deck and Patio Company designed and installed a beautiful and functional rainwater harvesting pondless waterfall and garden at the Huntington Station railroad station.
The collected rainwater is recycled for the garden irrigation and to create a lovely waterfall to please all the passersby.
Rainwater is collected in the large area of permeable pavers that make up a major portion of the sidewalk in the area of the garden.
The collected rainwater is stored in a collection area under these pavers, and routed to the waterfall and irrigation system.
