Frequently Asked Quesitons
-
Apple Landscape Design designs and installs fountains, koi ponds, bubbling rock features, cascading waterfalls, and reflecting pools. Each feature is custom-designed for the specific site and built to complement the surrounding landscape, whether as a naturalistic pond with stone edging and plantings or a sleek architectural fountain integrated into a paver patio. Both small accent features and larger multi-element water environments are within the team's scope.
-
Water feature maintenance requirements vary significantly by feature type. Pondless waterfalls and fountains are among the lower-maintenance options. The water recirculates through an underground reservoir, which eliminates open-water upkeep and makes them a practical choice for properties with children or homeowners who prefer minimal ongoing care. Koi ponds require more active management, including filtration maintenance and seasonal care. Apple Landscape Design discusses maintenance expectations for each feature type during the consultation so the feature selected fits both the aesthetic goals and the lifestyle of the homeowner.
-
Water features in Illinois require winterization to protect pumps, plumbing, and stonework from freeze damage. The process typically involves draining the system, removing and storing pumps, and protecting exposed stone elements before hard freezes set in. Apple Landscape Design builds features with proper drainage and equipment placement to make the winterization process straightforward, and provides guidance on the seasonal shutdown and spring restart process at the time of installation.
