Our recirculating water features reuse the same water continuously, giving you the sound and beauty of moving water with minimal waste in the desert.
Natural Stone & Custom Design
We build with natural stone and custom shaping, so your water feature looks like it belongs in your landscape rather than added on as an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to a few common questions homeowners ask about water features.
How much maintenance does a water feature need?
Water features need only light, occasional attention, such as keeping debris out and checking the pump. We design each system for easy care and walk you through simple upkeep so your feature keeps running beautifully for years.
Does a water feature use a lot of water?
No. Our recirculating systems reuse the same water again and again, so the only loss comes from evaporation. You get the sound and movement of flowing water with very modest water use, which is ideal for the desert.
Can you combine fire and water in one feature?
Yes. Fire and water features are one of our favorites. We pair flame and flowing water in a single design, creating a striking centerpiece that brings warmth, light, and the calming sound of water to your backyard.
Do water features really work in the desert?
Absolutely. We build water features specifically for the Arizona climate, using energy-efficient recirculating systems and durable materials. Done right, a desert water feature is a cool, soothing focal point you can enjoy all year long.
Can you add a water feature to my existing landscape?
Yes. We can design a water feature that blends into your current landscape, matching the existing stone, plantings, and layout. Our team works around what you already have to add a focal point that feels original to the space.

What our customers say about our water features
Dream Retreats did a great job on our landscaping project. We used them when we first moved to our house in 2007 and for several other projects since then. This year we decided it was time to improve the whole layout. Todd gave us a plan that totally transformed our yard. They redesigned our area with beautiful low maintenance artificial turf, new lights, removed old worn out plants with new ones and moved our large fountain to a better location. We are very pleased with the results. All of the workers were professional and did great work. We highly recommend this company.
My experience with Dream Retreats has been awesome. We had them originally do our backyard landscaping 3 years ago putting in a pergola, fire pit, pavers, a fountain, Astro Turf, drip system, lighting etc. We recently had them come back out and do a “re-fresh” of our yard with some new pavers in the front, rock, trellises etc. They do outstanding work, are easy to work with, keep their promises, remedy any challenges immediately etc etc. I highly recommend.
