At Freedom Pondscapes, we build custom ponds that do more than decorate your backyard—they transform it. Whether you want to create a peaceful retreat, a place to raise koi, or a natural swimming pond, we design and install water features that reflect your style and enhance your outdoor lifestyle. From Kansas City to Northwest Arkansas, our team combines artistry with experience to bring the beauty of nature right to your doorstep.
A custom pond creates more than visual interest—it introduces sound, movement, and life into your landscape. Every pond is thoughtfully designed to complement its surroundings and integrate naturally with your property. We don’t rely on prefabricated kits or cookie-cutter layouts. Each build is one-of-a-kind, using quality stone and natural materials to create a feature that looks like it has always been there.
A custom pond is a water feature that’s tailored to your vision, property, and intended use. Unlike standard pond kits or DIY builds, our custom ponds are designed from the ground up. Whether you’re looking for a small ornamental pond or a larger, ecosystem-based feature with fish, aquatic plants, and natural filtration, we can bring it to life with attention to detail and environmental harmony.
This type of water feature opens the door to countless possibilities. You might want a quiet koi pond tucked into a garden corner, a centerpiece pond with a cascading waterfall, or even a chemical-free natural swimming pond. Whatever the goal, our custom approach means every stone, pump, and plant is chosen specifically for your project. The result is a unique and functional landscape addition that stands out for all the right reasons.
Custom ponds are more than just attractive—they’re designed to support long-term beauty, health, and functionality. A properly designed pond will support aquatic life, self-regulate with natural filtration, and stay balanced with minimal intervention. Our goal is to build ponds that are as sustainable as they are stunning, creating an ecosystem that thrives with minimal maintenance.
Beyond the practical advantages, ponds offer emotional and sensory benefits that improve how you experience your outdoor space. The sound of flowing water, the movement of fish, and the presence of plant life all contribute to a calming, grounded environment. Whether you’re relaxing on a patio in Kansas City or enjoying a shaded yard in Fayetteville, a custom pond brings a sense of peace and connection to nature.
We serve two distinct regions—Kansas City, MO and Northwest Arkansas—and understand how to design ponds that suit the landscapes, climates, and property styles of both areas. The soil composition, topography, and vegetation vary between these zones, and our team is experienced in working with these differences to ensure every pond is built for performance and longevity.
Whether you’re working with a flat suburban yard in Overland Park or a sloped, wooded lot in Bentonville, our designs are created to fit the space naturally. We consider everything from drainage patterns to sun exposure when planning your layout. The end result is a pond that not only looks great but also functions efficiently and withstands the unique conditions of your location.
We build a wide variety of custom ponds depending on your preferences, lifestyle, and space. Some of the most popular types include:
Koi Ponds – Designed for the health and longevity of koi fish, these ponds include proper depth, filtration, and circulation to create a thriving aquatic environment.
Ecosystem Ponds – These ponds mimic natural bodies of water, incorporating aquatic plants, rocks, beneficial bacteria, and skimmers to support self-cleaning and ecological balance.
Natural Swimming Ponds – An eco-friendly alternative to chlorine pools, these swimmable ponds combine the aesthetics of a natural pond with the functionality of a backyard swimming area.
Each pond type can be customized with features such as waterfalls, rock outcroppings, underwater lighting, and surrounding hardscaping. Our team walks you through the options during the design phase to ensure your finished pond meets both your vision and practical needs.
