Who We Are

Georgia Pond & Waterfall is a pond builder and hardscaper serving homeowners and commercial property owners in Cumming, GA and throughout North Atlanta. We design and build the kind of backyard features people slow down to look at: ponds, waterfalls, natural swimming ponds, and the stonework that ties it all together. That stonework includes patios, retaining walls, walkways, and fire pits, because a water feature almost always looks its best when the ground around it is thought through too.

Our owner, Nico Poullas, is hands-on with every project. Whether we're relining a waterfall that's been leaking for twenty years or reshaping a yard so it finally handles storm runoff the way it should, you'll be working with people who actually understand what's going on underneath the surface. We treat each property as its own puzzle, because every yard, slope, and water source behaves a little differently.

What We Do

We offer a full range of water feature and hardscaping work, and we're glad to start from scratch or step in to fix what someone else left behind.

  • Custom Waterfall Builder — Waterfall builds that account for structure and long-term upkeep, using tested methods and modern tools so the result holds up.
  • Pond Cleaning — Clearing out debris, sludge, and algae, checking filters and pumps, and getting water clarity, circulation, and balance back where they belong.
  • Pond Rebuilding — Repairing or replacing worn components and shoring up structure, whether you need a partial fix or a full overhaul.
  • Waterfall Rebuild — Assessing an existing waterfall, handling repairs and structural adjustments, and bringing it back to life as a partial or complete upgrade.
  • Natural Swimming Ponds — Custom design, material selection, installation, and a final walkthrough of a swimming pond built to fit your space.
  • Natural Beach Pools — Designing and building natural beach pools, including system setup, for a softer, more natural kind of outdoor retreat.

Our Commitment to Cumming, GA

We live and work in this area, and that local knowledge shapes everything we build. The soil, the drainage patterns, the way North Atlanta weather moves through a property over a season — these things matter when you're putting water and stone into the ground. Understanding the conditions specific to Cumming, GA lets us recommend solutions that actually suit your yard instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

That local focus also means we care how our work reflects on us. The ponds and hardscapes we build are in our own backyard, so to speak, and we want them to look good and function well for years to come.

Why Customers Trust Us

  • A clear, upfront quote. Before any work starts, you get a detailed estimate covering the scope, timeline, and cost — no hidden fees, no surprises. You'll know exactly what to expect.
  • We clean up and check the work. Every project wraps up with a thorough cleanup and a final inspection, so we can be confident the result meets our standards before we call it done.
  • Local knowledge you can rely on. Because we know the properties and conditions here, we can tailor the work to fit your situation rather than forcing a generic plan onto your yard.

Our goal is simple: results that are functional, good to look at, and built to last. If you've been thinking about a new pond or waterfall, or you've got an aging feature that needs some attention, we'd be glad to talk it through.

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Georgia Pond and Waterfall to restore and redesign the pond in our backyard, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Nico stood out for his incredible attention to detail and his genuine willingness to listen. He took the time to understand our concerns—especially the ongoing rain runoff issues—and worked closely with us to design a solution that was both practical and beautiful. The runoff problem that had been frustrating us for so long has now been completely addressed, and the new layout works seamlessly with our yard. The transformation itself is stunning. What was once an existing pond in need of help is now a gorgeous, functional space with a beautifully designed waterfall that we enjoy every day. Nico and his team worked hard throughout the entire process, and it showed in both the craftsmanship and the care they put into every aspect of the project. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the follow-up. Nico didn’t just finish the job and move on—he checked in with us afterward to make sure everything was working properly and that we were completely satisfied. That level of professionalism and commitment is rare. If you’re looking for a company that combines expertise, creativity, and outstanding customer care, we highly recommend Georgia Pond and Waterfall.

    Niko has passion for what he does and it shows in the work. Niko treats his rock scapes, ponds, and waterfalls like pieces of art. But they do more than just look good - they also work well! Niko's experience with waterfall design resulted in a structure which solved our leaking problems and still looks great. He rebuilt our 20-year-old waterfall using a fresh liner. Now it looks great and we don't lose water when we run it. Niko's attention to detail really sets him apart. He comes back and gets all the details right before he finishes a job. He spends time grouting and covering the structural parts of the cement and foam so everything looks natural. Niko also communicates well. We talked about his life before building waterfalls, and I think all his business experience helped make him such a good communicator. I always get updates on how things are going. I'm so glad we hired Georgia Pond and Waterfall to do our project.
