Unlike most pond builders who source materials from third-party suppliers, Freedom Stone + Pondscapes owns its own natural stone quarry. This means every retaining wall, patio, and water feature uses quarry-direct stone with consistent quality and coloring. Our Springdale office at 2401 S Maestri Rd provides local expertise for the Ozark terrain—rocky hillsides, clay soils, and drainage challenges that out-of-area contractors don't understand. From custom koi ponds in Bentonville to natural swim ponds in Fayetteville, we design and build every project from scratch for your specific property.
Every project is custom-designed for your property, the Ozark terrain, and your lifestyle. No cookie-cutter installs.
Custom koi pond design and installation with professional filtration, fish caves, and natural Ozark stone. Starting at $15,000.
Chemical-free swimming with biological plant filtration. The ultimate NWA backyard upgrade. Starting at $125,000.
All the beauty of a waterfall without the pond. Low maintenance, kid-safe, front-yard friendly. Starting at $8,000.
Bubbling rocks, decorative urns, and custom fountain features. The easiest entry point to water features. Starting at $3,500.

What Our Clients Say
Every project is personal. Here are a few of the notes we receive after the water starts flowing.
