Custom Water Features

Water has a way of changing the entire atmosphere of an outdoor space. The sound of running water. The movement. The way it catches the light. A well-designed water feature does not just add beauty to your backyard, it changes how the whole space feels. BR Design Build designs and constructs custom water features for homeowners across Maryland, creating water environments that are uniquely tailored to your property, your landscape, and your vision. If you are searching for “water feature contractors near me” in Maryland, BR Design Build manages every phase of your project in-house, from design through installation and final walkthrough.

From large-scale pond installation and dramatic waterfall construction to custom pool water features and standalone garden fountains, our team works with your property and your preferences to design and build a water environment that feels like a natural extension of your outdoor space. Whether you want a natural look with large rock formations built using our Neptune Panels System, or clean modern lines that flow seamlessly into your pool or in-ground spa, we design the perfect water feature installation for your specific space.

BR Design Build is proud to offer the Neptune Panels System as an option for water feature construction. Built from glass fiber reinforced concrete formed from molds of actual rock, the Neptune Panels System delivers a realistic stone finish at a fraction of the cost and weight of natural stone. This lightweight system can be installed in locations where natural stone cranes cannot reach, making large-scale waterfall and boulder formations possible for more properties across Maryland.

What Sets BR Design Build Apart for Custom Water Feature Projects in Maryland

A water feature is only as good as the team that designs and builds it. Here is why Maryland homeowners trust BR Design Build with theirs. Our construction approach follows recognized industry best practices associated with ICPI standards.

We Build What Your Property Aactually Needs

A water feature that looks beautiful in a showroom can look completely wrong in your backyard. At BR Design Build, every water feature design begins with a thorough study of your specific property, the layout, the sight lines, the existing landscaping, and how you actually use your outdoor space. If you are searching for "water feature contractors near me" in Maryland, we do not bring a template to the job. We bring a blank page and build from there.

Every Detail Managed In-House

BR Design Build handles every phase of your water feature installation in-house, from design and excavation to plumbing and finishing. One team manages the entire process to ensure every detail meets the same high standard. If you are searching for “water feature installers near me,” we deliver a seamless experience with clear communication from start to finish.

Natural Stone Results Without The Limitations

Large natural boulders and rock formations require cranes and significant structural support. Many properties in Maryland simply cannot accommodate that. The Neptune Panels System changes that entirely. Formed from molds of actual rock and built from glass fiber reinforced concrete, our panels deliver a completely realistic stone finish that can be installed anywhere on your property. The result looks indistinguishable from natural stone at a fraction of the cost and complexity.

Hands-On Oversight From Start To Finish

At BR Design Build, we stay directly involved throughout your water feature installation, personally overseeing every phase of the build. If something does not meet the standard, we correct it before the project moves forward. If you are searching for “pond installation near me” in Maryland, we deliver hands-on attention and consistent quality from start to finish.

Custom Water Features We Design and Install in Maryland

From inground pool construction to vanishing edge designs, indoor pools, and full luxury swimming pool construction projects, every pool we build is designed from scratch around your property and vision. No templates. No catalog designs.

Waterfalls

A custom waterfall adds drama, beauty, and the sound of running water to any outdoor space. We design and build waterfalls of every scale, from large multi-tier formations using the Neptune Panels System to smaller, more intimate features that bring a sense of calm to your pool edge or garden.

Ponds

A well-designed pond is one of the most beautiful additions you can make to a residential landscape. Whether you want a naturalistic koi pond or a formal reflecting pool, our pond installation service in Maryland covers every phase from design and excavation through planting and final installation.

Pool Water Features

Your pool is already beautiful. A custom pool water feature makes it unforgettable. From cascading waterfalls and spillways to fountain jets and water walls, we design and install pool water features that add movement, sound, and visual drama to your swimming pool.

Outdoor Fountains

The right fountain in the right place transforms a garden, courtyard, or backyard entrance into something special. Our outdoor water fountain installation services in Maryland create custom focal points designed around your property and built to last, including select hardscaping products from Belgard.

Neptune Panels System

When you want the look of large natural boulders and rock formations without the cost, weight, or logistical challenges of natural stone, the Neptune Panels System delivers. Formed from molds of actual rock and constructed from glass fiber reinforced concrete, the panels can be painted to any color and installed in locations natural stone simply cannot reach.

Stone Surface Construction

Beyond water features, the Neptune Panels System can be used to transform any outdoor surface into a realistic stone finish. Water feature bases, retaining walls, planters, outdoor bars, any surface that would benefit from the look of natural stone without its limitations.

We are very pleased with our BR Design Build stone patio that was installed late summer 2023. Over the past winter and spring we noticed a little bit of patio settling around our window well, and I reached out about maybe having it repaired. BR Design Build sent someone out ASAP to address the settling and it is back to perfect. I can't recommend them highly enough. It turns out the settling was not even due to improper patio installation, but the builder of my house did not compact the soil well enough around the window well.

We hired BR Design Build to install a hardscape around our new Generac Generator. The frame was made of tiles that matched our patio floor. The frame was filled with river cobble stones. We also had Craig install a ramp made of matching tiles, in front of our shed. We have worked with BR Design Build on other projects including retaining walls, soil erosion solutions, French drain installation and walkways.The quality of the work is always excellent and the prices are reasonable. I am already planning to hire Craig and his team for a future project next year. We would recommend BR Design Build to design all your landscaping needs.

This company was great to work with. From the initial contact with Craig ( came out and discussed what we wanted and provided an initial quote that was competitive and very close to final price). Crew arrived on time and worked diligently. We were removing a lot of landscape around original patio and extending the original patio by replacing with pavers. The crew dug up and disposed of old plants/bushes. BR researched the type of paver that was used on original portion of patio (we were 2nd owner and didn't have records) and the new stones matched really well. They Had to work around an initial design and the final outcome looked great. The crew cleaned up after themselves and left the property looking as they found it. Craig and team were all friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend them for patio work.

Craig is an absolute angel. We had work done to regrade our front yard, install a silt trap and have two pop ups put in. Our HOA was a nightmare about it and Craig was professional and fantastic throughout the entire process. His team not only did a fantastic job, they came back and moved one of the pop-ups back by a few inches after the HOA came around with a measuring tape. I cannot recommend BR Design Build more highly.

We had several projects that needed to be completed around our home including a patio and walkway, as well as tree planting. I must say from the very start Craig, was a pleasure to work with, from our first meeting all the way through the process. He walked our property with me as I explained to him what it was we were looking for and gave insights and suggestions that were within my budget. Most contractors that came out gave inflated estimates and were trying to price with "add ons" that were not needed. Once we chose BR, Craig was top notch all the way. He was communicative, open, honest, and most of all......on time. I can not tell you how refreshing that is!! Most contractors I have ever dealt with are all over the place with time frames and scheduling (what's new right). But BR was different. Once contracted they gave specific deadlines and not only met every one of them, but were finished early!! Early and quality work they will stand by. Amazing in this day and age! BR workers were just as friendly and polite as their principle. I would highly recommend BR Design and build. I would choose them again and again based on this very pleasant and easy transaction. Craig Smith and his team at BR Design and Build are fantastic. Thank you!

My experience with Craig and his crew was exceptional. The job was fairly small. He extended a flower bed, tilled in a large amount of rich soil and helped me pick out shrubs and a tree. They planted and mulched. He also installed a brick walkway between my neighbors' driveway and mine. His crew was very professional and punctual. Craig did a larger job for my neighbor and we have both had compliments on jobs well done. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again and highly recommend them.

What an amazing experience. From start to finish, Craig has been responsive. It poured down raining and when I tell you my yard is so dry, I am so impressed with his work to waterproof my yard. We are now hoping to use him to section off our yard and design us a new backyard. You won't be disappointed. Very up front, honest and reasonable!!! A++++

Our Water Feature Design and Installation Process

Your project starts with a free in-home consultation where Craig Smith walks your property, listens to your vision, and evaluates every detail. We then create a fully customized pool design plan, refining materials and features with you until approved before construction begins.

We Build

Our team handles your pool installation in-house, from excavation through final installation. While industry standards call for quality construction methods, we build every project with a single standard, getting it exactly right. No surprise charges for extras.

Once your pool is complete, Craig personally walks the space with you to review every detail and ensure it meets your exact specifications. We complete the final cleanup and do not consider the job finished until you are fully satisfied with your new outdoor space.

How long does a custom water feature installation take?

Most water feature installations are completed within a reasonable project timeline based on the size and complexity of the design. Larger features such as full pond installations, multi-tier waterfalls, or pool water features with integrated Neptune Panels rock formations may require additional time. During your initial consultation, BR Design Build provides a clear project timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

We design and build custom waterfalls, pond installations, pool water features, outdoor fountains, and stone surface construction using the Neptune Panels System. Whether you prefer a natural rock look or a clean modern design, we build every water feature from scratch around your property.

The Neptune Panels System uses glass fiber reinforced concrete formed from molds of actual rock, delivering a completely realistic stone finish at a fraction of the cost and weight of natural stone. It can be installed in locations where cranes cannot reach, making large-scale boulder and waterfall formations possible for far more Maryland properties than natural stone would allow.

Yes. We design and install custom pool water features and waterfalls as an addition to any existing swimming pool. Whether you want a dramatic waterfall, a fountain element, or a natural rock formation, we incorporate it seamlessly into your current pool environment.

Custom water features can be installed anywhere on your property, at the edge of your pool, within your garden, in a courtyard, or as a standalone focal point in your backyard. We work with your specific layout, sight lines, and landscaping to find the ideal placement for your design.

We serve homeowners throughout Maryland, including Anne Arundel County and Prince George’s County, and the surrounding areas of Annapolis, Edgewater, Millersville, Arnold, Severna Park, Bowie, and Mitchellville.
