You’re not just looking for someone to dig a hole and fill it with water. You want a pond that changes your space. Makes it more peaceful, more beautiful. Something that makes you stop and say, “Wow… I could sit out here all day.”

That’s what we do at Atlantis Water Gardens. For over 20 years, we’ve been building custom ponds and water features across New Jersey. Whether you’re picturing a koi pond, a small bubbling fountain, or a full-on waterfall, we bring the ideas, tools, and experience to make it happen. Our expert pond fountain installers in Short Hills, NJ make it happen!

What We Can Do for You in Short Hills, NJ

We’re not a one-size-fits-all operation. Every project we build is a little different and that’s exactly how we like it! Here’s a look at what we offer:

🐠 Natural-Looking Backyard Ponds

We build ponds that actually work with nature — not against it. That means real rocks, plants, filters that do their job without you having to babysit them, and enough depth for koi to thrive year-round in New Jersey.

If you’re new to ponds, don’t worry — we walk you through everything, from how to keep the water clean to what your fish should (and shouldn’t) be eating in the colder months. These aren’t just pretty water holes. They’re full-blown ecosystems you can enjoy all year.

🌊 Pondless Waterfalls (Yep, It’s a Thing)

Love the sound of running water but don’t want the upkeep of a pond? That’s where pondless waterfalls come in. They’re safe for kids and pets, they don’t collect leaves, and they’re seriously low maintenance. You still get that peaceful water movement — without all the fuss.

And honestly? These might be our favorite builds. They give you a waterfall without a pond… and yeah, it’s as cool as it sounds.

🪨 Small Fountains & Fountainscapes

Want something simple that still makes a big impact? A bubbling urn or stacked slate fountain can completely change the feel of your garden, front yard, or patio. These small features are perfect if you’re short on space but still want that calming water vibe.

We install these all over Short Hills — they’re especially great for entryways and cozy backyard corners that could use a little charm.

🛠️ Pond Cleanouts & Seasonal Maintenance

New Jersey weather can be… dramatic. Ice, storms, falling leaves — all of it can wreak havoc on your pond. That’s why we offer seasonal services to keep things running smoothly:

  • Spring cleanouts and restarts
  • Fall leaf removal and shutdowns
  • Winter prep (so your fish and equipment make it through in one piece)
  • Filter and pump repairs
  • Water testing and balancing


We also handle planting aquatic plants like lilies (and yes, we’ll show you how not to kill them).

Why Homeowners in Short Hills Trust Us

You’ve probably heard of pond builders before, but here’s the deal — we live and breathe this stuff. It’s not just a service; it’s our craft.

Here’s a little bit about us:

  • We’ve been designing and building custom water features in New Jersey for over 20 years
  • Named “Certified Aquascape Contractor of the Year” and “Water Feature Artist of the Year”
  • Voted the #1 Aquascape Installer/Retailer in the world (not to brag… okay, we’re bragging a little)
  • We’ve built ponds and waterfalls all over the U.S. and even South America
  • Our YouTube channel has nearly 40,000 subscribers tuning in to watch our builds every week


In other words, you’re not hiring a landscaper who also does ponds. You’re hiring a pond artist. Someone who’s going to treat your project like a personal masterpiece.
