Our Sister Company
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 sister company of Aquatic Artists, drawing 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.
How It Works
The First-of-Its-Kind Natural Stone Waterfall Systems

What We Build
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.
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
Resort-Style Grottos
The Contractor Advantage
Why Contractors Choose AWS
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
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.
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
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.
