Custom Water Features for the Brainerd Lakes
In the Brainerd Lakes, water sets the pace of life. Mornings start slow on the dock. Afternoons drift into evenings around the fire. Weekends stretch as far as the shoreline allows. Adding a fountain, waterfall, or reflecting pool to your backyard brings that same feeling home. The sound of water softens the edges of the day. Light dances across the surface at sunset. Even the air feels different when water is nearby: cooler, calmer, alive. With Yardcreations, your backyard doesn’t just look the part. It feels it.
Backyards That Feel Like the Brainerd Lakes
Summer dinners under the pines. Fall nights when the air turns crisp and the lake grows still. A backyard with water feels like an extension of everything people love about this place — relaxed, welcoming, a little wild at the edges.
We design fountains that catch the morning light, waterfalls that spill softly beside the patio, and reflecting pools that mirror the sky after dark. It all flows together so your space feels like it belongs here, not dropped in from somewhere else.
More Than a Water Feature.
A Complete Outdoor Living Space.
A fountain by itself can be beautiful. But when it’s part of a complete outdoor living plan — with patios, fire features, lighting, and landscaping all designed to work together — the whole backyard changes.
Before construction begins, you’ll see the entire space in 3D, know the budget and timeline upfront, and get regular updates as your new backyard takes shape.
Built for Minnesota Seasons.
Built for Life Outside.
The Brainerd Lakes don’t go easy on anything left outdoors. That’s why we build with Unilock, Belgard, and Techo-Bloc for the stonework, FX Luminaire lighting for the perfect evening glow, and low-maintenance pumps that keep water flowing year after year.
Your water feature can include:
Pondless waterfalls for the beauty and sound of water without the upkeep
Decorative fountains that set the mood for coffee mornings or evening cocktails
Reflecting pools that bring a calm, elegant touch to any backyard
Water walls or spillways for a modern, architectural look
Custom stonework and integrated lighting that ties the entire space together
“Our three tier water fountain far exceeded our expectations.”

Experience That Runs Deep
With over 100 years of combined experience, our crews know how to design spaces that feel good to be in and hold up to Minnesota winters, lake summers, and everything in between. We back it all with 5-year hardscape warranties so you can relax, knowing it’s built to last.
Bring the Lakeside Feeling Home
When the water starts moving and the lights come on, you’ll have more than a backyard. You’ll have a space that carries the calm, the beauty, and the rhythm of the Brainerd Lakes right to your door.
