We chose Aerate 1 nearly 20 years ago to install our pond and we have been loving it ever since! They are still around, still local and when I call about every 5 years for pond cleaning, I can speak to Aerate 1 owner Hector and he has a crew out within a week. Super nice crews, hard working, I highly recommend them.

Expert Pondless Waterfall Installation in Yorkville, IL
Pondless waterfall installation gives Yorkville homeowners the sound and look of moving water without an open pond. Water flows over natural rock, disappears into a hidden underground reservoir, and recirculates back to the top. There is no exposed standing water, which means no mosquito breeding and no safety risk for children or pets. Yorkville sits in Kendall County, where clay-heavy soils and four-season weather patterns affect how we excavate and set the reservoir. We account for frost depth and drainage before any rock is placed. Our team at Aerate1 Landscaping & Ponds handles the full process: site assessment, design, excavation, reservoir setup, rock placement, and pump connection. A pondless waterfall fits tighter lots common in Yorkville's newer subdivisions and works well on sloped yards where water movement is natural. If you are ready to add a water feature to your backyard, call us to schedule a site visit.
