Our Values
Growing up, family time spent outdoors was a cornerstone of our lives, inspiring a love for creating beautiful, functional backyard spaces for gathering, relaxing, and making memories. At Focal Point Features, we carry these cherished values into every project, ensuring that each pond, fountain, or water feature we design and maintain brings warmth, beauty, and togetherness to your outdoor space. We believe that thoughtful landscaping and water feature design should enhance your home, elevate your lifestyle, and create a backyard oasis you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Our Passion
For us, creating beautiful backyard water features isn’t just a job, it’s a lifestyle we live every day.

We believe in standing by our work and building long-term relationships with every client. Our team is committed to educating and guiding you through every stage—from water feature design and installation to routine pond maintenance and care.
With our expertise, we ensure that your backyard water feature or koi pond is designed, installed, and maintained to match your space, budget, and lifestyle, creating a relaxing and vibrant oasis for years to come.
