Renewal, right outside your door
Not sod and a few bricks. A new way to live at home.
Evenings on the patio instead of the couch. The sound of water through an open bedroom window. Friends who come over just to sit by the falls.
Brothers Dan and Kevin Stanza grew up learning first-hand from their father's business how to design and build backyard dreams. They've focused their talent and passion to designing and building natural ponds, streams, waterfalls, and fountains. Every feature is designed around your yard, your views and the way you want to spend your time out there.

Project stories
Real backyards, with the budget and the timeline
Weatherby Lake, MO
Holy Hillside
A steep, unusable slope became dual cascading waterfalls over granite boulders, with a natural-slab stone stairway to walk it.

Leawood, KS
Cascade Corner
$50,0005 days
A tight corner between a patio, a fire pit and a raised patio became a multi-tiered pondless waterfall you can watch from the downstairs bar.
Kansas City, MO
A home designed around a waterfall
$60,0008 days
From the first blueprint, every major room was planned to frame a view of cascading water. We wrapped a pondless waterfall around the patio so it is in view from the bedroom, the gym and the living room.
Why Good Earth
Water feature specialists, not landscapers who also do ponds
Family, hands-on owners
Dan and Kevin Stanza learned the craft from their father and are still on site, on the phone and on your project.
Certified Aquascape Contractors
We build with Aquascape ecosystem components and methods, and we warranty all of our work.
The yard, designed around the water
We start with the water feature so it looks like the home was built around a natural spring.
Here for the life of it
Spring clean-outs, fall netting, winterization and repairs, for the features we build and the ones we inherit.
“Good Earth built and installed our pond with a beautiful water fall about 3 years ago. It is the focal point of our back yard. In the years since installation, they have provided exceptional maintenance. They have been very responsive when we have run into some minor problems. Dan and his crew are very responsive and professional. I highly recommend them.”

Visit Our FAQ PageWhat does a backyard water feature cost?
Fountains in our 2026 Inspiration and Pricing Guide start at $4,000 to $6,500, pondless waterfalls from $11,000 and small koi ponds with a waterfall from $15,000. Complete backyard projects in our project stories run from $28,000 to $250,000. Our cost page estimates yours with the same formula we use.
Do you take care of water features you did not build?
Yes. Much of our maintenance and repair work is on ponds, waterfalls and fountains other companies installed, including ones whose builders are long gone. We find the leak, fix the pump, clean it out and keep it running.
Where do you work?
Across the Kansas City metro in Missouri and Kansas, from our office on NW Vivion Road in the Northland to Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, Mission, Parkville, Weatherby Lake, Platte City, Mission Hills and Loch Lloyd. See all service areas.
