Backyard Pond Design

This custom backyard pond in Minneapolis, MN was designed and built as a clean, structured, and low-maintenance water feature using natural limestone boulders.

The goal was to create a balanced system that combines strong visual composition with efficient biological filtration.

The pond was constructed using natural limestone boulders to create a cohesive and durable structure that fits naturally into the surrounding landscape.

A wetland-style biological filtration system was integrated into the design to ensure clear water and long-term performance with minimal maintenance. The layout was carefully planned to separate open water, planting zones, and the filtration area, creating a clean and intentional composition.

One of the key design features is a stepping-stone walkway made from limestone boulders, allowing functional interaction with the pond while enhancing the overall visual structure.

Every element of the project was designed to balance aesthetics, usability, and system performance within a compact backyard space.
