Albuquerque Pool Pros provides professional water features & fountains in Albuquerque, NM for residential and commercial properties across the Albuquerque metro and the Rio Grande valley. Pool water features — sheer descents, bubblers, laminar jets, scuppers, and boulder waterfalls — do something in the high desert they do not do elsewhere, because the sound of moving water in a dry landscape is disproportionately pleasant.
We build the whole range, from a single bubbler on a tanning ledge to a waterfall in local basalt and granite that looks like it came with the lot.
Sheer descents are the clean architectural option, a stainless or acrylic weir in a raised wall dropping a flat ribbon of water, backlit with color-changing LED.
Laminar jets throw an arc of clear water across the deck and are the feature nobody under twelve will leave alone. Scuppers set into a stuccoed raised bond beam suit territorial and Southwest architecture better than anything else.
Negative edges are the showpiece where the lot has a fall toward a view of the Sandias or west across the valley, and Albuquerque has more of those lots than most cities. Two things determine whether a feature works or trickles.
The first is hydraulics: every feature needs its own plumbing run sized to the weir width and enough head pressure to deliver it, which usually means a dedicated feature pump or a saved speed on a variable-speed unit. The second, here specifically, is winterization.
A water feature is a lot of exposed shallow plumbing and a separate basin, and every one of those is a freeze risk.
We plumb features so they can be isolated, drained, and blown out with the rest of the system in November, and we put them on automation so they run with the lights instead of requiring a walk to the pad.
We also repair existing features — leaking waterfall basins, dead bubblers, seized feature pumps, and rockwork that has gone green.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, flagstone and travertine coping, high-efficiency heat pumps and gas heaters, variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filtration — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Albuquerque and nearby communities including Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, South Valley, Los Lunas.

Materials, equipment and how we do water features & fountains
The difference between water features & fountains that lasts and water features & fountains that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, flagstone and travertine coping, high-efficiency heat pumps and gas heaters, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Albuquerque job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Albuquerque metro and the Rio Grande valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
