More Than Beautiful Ponds—Creating Backyard Wildlife Habitats in Phoenix, AZ
At The Pond Gnome, we do more than build ponds, waterfalls, and water gardens. We help homeowners create living outdoor spaces that support Arizona’s native wildlife while adding beauty, tranquility, and purpose to their landscapes.
Our passion extends beyond water features. We are dedicated conservationists who believe that every backyard has the potential to become a thriving wildlife habitat. Through thoughtful design and sustainable water features, we help create environments that attract birds, butterflies, dragonflies, pollinators, and other beneficial wildlife while providing homeowners with a deeper connection to nature.
We are especially committed to protecting Arizona’s native species, including the threatened Lowland Leopard Frog. By incorporating natural ecosystems into residential landscapes, we can help create safe habitats and ecological stepping stones that support local wildlife populations throughout the Valley.
Imagine stepping into your backyard and seeing hummingbirds visit flowering plants, dragonflies dancing above the water, and native wildlife finding refuge in a landscape designed to work with nature rather than against it. These aren’t just beautiful outdoor spaces—they’re living ecosystems that contribute to a healthier environment.
Whether you’re interested in a koi pond, water garden, wildlife pond, or complete backyard habitat, our goal is to create outdoor environments that benefit both people and nature. Together, we can transform ordinary landscapes into extraordinary spaces that inspire, restore, and help preserve Arizona’s natural heritage for future generations.






Why Arizona Urban Wildlife Habitats Matter
Urbanization has taken a toll on natural ecosystems, causing the reduction, and even disappearance, of wetlands and critical habitats for countless native wildlife species. As cities like Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Glendale expand, these creatures lose their homes, leading to population decline and endangerment. By designing & building urban wildlife habitats, we seek to bridge the gap between urban living and wildlife conservation.
