Advanced Waterfall Systems
Turning Custom Waterfall Artistry Into Engineered Systems
Advanced Waterfall Systems (AWS) is a national waterfall manufacturing and engineering company that transforms high-end, natural-stone water features into repeatable, shippable systems that any competent contractor can install—without needing prior waterfall-building experience.
Built on 25+ Years of Experience
AWS is the product division of Aquatic Artists, built on over 25 years of field experience and hundreds of custom waterfall installations throughout NJ, PA, DE, and MD. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from decades of building one-of-a-kind masterpieces and engineered it into systems that deliver the same quality and beauty—with unprecedented speed, safety, and profitability.
The First-of-Its-Kind Natural Stone Waterfall Systems
AWS represents a revolutionary approach to waterfall installation. We function like a custom cabinet shop:
- AWS = Cabinet Makers – We design, engineer, fabricate, and test every system in our New Jersey facility
- Contractors = Cabinet Installers – You set the system in place using our detailed plans, a level, and basic equipment
Every system is 100% real natural stone on the exterior, with engineered rebar and concrete backing. Each system is fully test-run before shipping to ensure perfect water flow and zero leaks.
Product Lines: From Kits to Resort-Style Grottos
Genesis Waterfall Kits
Standardized, natural-stone kits that arrive on a single pallet. Typical kits are 1.5 ft high, 8 ft wide, come in 9 numbered pieces, and go from pallet to running waterfall in about 2 hours with two people—no special skills required.
Genesis Formal Kits
Modern, geometric waterfall systems built on lightweight aluminum frames with custom stone veneers, bluestone caps, and integrated LED sheers. Perfect for contemporary pool designs.
Custom AWS Systems
Fully engineered, made-to-order systems in three tiers:
- Classic – Small to mid-sized waterfalls (1-2 tiers) and waterfall + slide combinations
- Deluxe – Our most popular category: substantial 3 ft high, 14 ft wide multi-tier waterfalls with internal pre-plumbed systems
- Ultimate – Flagship resort-style systems with massive grottos, integrated slides, upper patios, multiple waterfalls, and fire features
Why Contractors Choose AWS
1. Drastically Reduced Installation Time
- Genesis kits: 2 hours with two people
- Deluxe systems: Often installed in a single day
- Ultimate grottos: Main structure erected in one day, detail work by others
2. No Waterfall Experience Required
Pre-designed, pre-engineered, and pre-tested systems mean any competent contractor can install professional-grade waterfalls. We provide CAD plans, installation videos, and direct support throughout the process.
3. Predictable, Higher Profits
Example: Buy a system for around $10,000, install it in 1-2 days, and sell it for $20,000-$25,000. Waterfalls become one of the most profitable upgrades a pool or landscape contractor can offer.
4. Waterproof by Design
Our systems feature:
- Special curb details that prevent water from traveling backward
- Internal pre-plumbed systems (usually just 1-2 connections on site)
- Bentonite waterstops where panels meet
- Every system test-run before shipping
5. Built for Your Site & Equipment
Panel sizes and weights are calculated based on what you can actually get into the backyard—whether it’s a Dingo, skid steer, or crane. Same beautiful result, optimized for your access.
6. Easy to Sell to Homeowners
Our Inspiration Gallery features hundreds of real, named projects with photos and pricing. Homeowners can see exactly what they’re getting, which helps close pool sales and increases project values.
