Why Legacy Waters

More than a memorial. A legacy you can experience.

A photograph captures a moment. A monument marks a place. But water brings a memorial to life.

Legacy Waters creates one-of-a-kind memorial water features that transform meaningful outdoor spaces into lasting tributes. Through natural stone, flowing water, personalized engraving, landscaping, lighting, and carefully chosen details, we create a setting that reflects the life and legacy of the person being honored.

Backed by the craftsmanship and water-feature experience of StayCations Outdoor Design, every Legacy Waters project is individually designed and professionally built with beauty, longevity, and ease of ownership in mind.

The result is more than something to look at.

It's a place to gather. A place to remember. A place where their story continues.

What we create

Three ways to remember

Whether you long for the sound of a waterfall, the quiet company of a fountain, or a whole garden to walk through, every Legacy Waters project is designed entirely around the person you're honoring.

How It Works

A meaningful process. Made simple.

You don't need to know what your memorial should look like before contacting us. You simply need a story. We'll help with the rest.

  1. 01

    Share

    Tell us about the person you'd like to honor — who they were, what they loved, and the memories you want the space to represent. We'll also learn about your property, ideas, and budget.

  2. 02

    Imagine

    We transform those conversations into a custom memorial concept. Flowing water, natural stone, engraved messages, meaningful plants, lighting, seating, and personal touches can all become part of the design. Together, we'll shape the details until the memorial feels uniquely theirs.

  3. 03

    Create

    Once the design is approved, our experienced water-feature team brings it to life. Every Legacy Waters memorial is individually built and carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape.

  4. 04

    Remember

    When construction is complete, what remains is more than a water feature. It's somewhere you can return to on birthdays, anniversaries, difficult days, or simply whenever you want to feel close to someone you miss.

Everything you're wondering about

Answers to what families most often ask. If you don't see your question here, we'd be glad to talk it through.

Read all FAQs

It's a custom-built waterfall, fountain, or remembrance water garden created to honor someone you love — a permanent, peaceful place in your own yard or a shared space where family can gather, remember, and feel close to them. Every one is designed around the person being honored.

We design and build throughout the Twin Cities metro and greater Minnesota — including Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lakeville, and the surrounding communities. If you're outside our usual area, reach out anyway and we'll let you know what's possible.

Because every feature is custom, cost depends on size, materials, and site. Intimate fountains typically begin in the low thousands, while larger waterfalls and full remembrance water gardens are a larger investment. We'll give you a clear, honest range during your free consultation before any commitment.

Yes. Hand-engraved stones, dedicated plaques, and personalized keystones are a meaningful part of most of our projects. We'll help you choose the words and the place they belong.

Our pondless waterfalls have no standing water, making them safe around children and pets, and they're designed to be simple to care for. We'll show you the few minutes of seasonal upkeep involved, and we offer ongoing service if you'd prefer we handle it.
