Crescent-Arch Waterfall & Rockery Aquarium
Crescent-arch waterfall and rockery aquarium installation in Nairobi for homes and businesses seeking a garden water feature. We start with a free site visit and share a design for approval before work begins.
Crescent-arch waterfall and rockery aquarium in Nairobi
A crescent-arch waterfall and rockery aquarium combines a curved viewing tank, a tiered waterfall and planted rockwork in one compact garden feature. GreenBoma installs these custom-built features for patios and courtyards in Nairobi and nearby areas, with prices from KES 130,000 per feature and a typical on-site installation time of 5 days.
The design uses a U-shaped masonry basin with a curved front viewing window for koi or goldfish. A sculpted rockery sits at one side, while a sweeping crescent arch rises behind the basin. Three staggered bowls create cascading spillways; a top planter cup holds an ambient lantern. A concealed rear filtration chamber and submersible pump circulate the water back into the main tank.
Who is this aquarium waterfall suited to?
This feature suits homeowners, businesses and hospitality spaces looking for a focal point in a patio or courtyard. Its compact footprint can bring moving water and aquatic life into a space where a larger pond may not fit. The planted rockery adds greenery beside the water, while the curved glass lets you view the fish from the front.
It may not suit a site without room for the basin and access needed for construction. It also needs a reliable power supply for the pump and ongoing attention to the water system and fish. If you want a larger pond or a different style of water feature, we can discuss options such as our water features or two-tier koi pond and pagoda aquarium.
What does a crescent-arch waterfall aquarium cost?
Prices start from KES 130,000 per feature. The final quotation depends on the site and the agreed design. Every quote starts with a free site visit, so we can assess the available space and discuss the layout before pricing the work.
The crescent-arch aquarium is a built feature, not a standard-size product with one fixed specification. We share a design for your approval before installation begins. Ask us to confirm the scope and price for your site in the quotation.
How we plan and install the feature
- Free site visit: We visit the property to look at the patio or courtyard, available space and practical access. We also discuss where the feature should sit and the water and power available.
- Design and approval: We prepare a design for you to review before work starts. This sets out the arrangement of the basin, curved viewing window, rockery, arch and cascading bowls.
- Installation: Our team builds the masonry basin and rockery, fits the curved glass, and installs the tiered waterfall components. The rear filtration chamber and submersible pump are fitted to circulate water through the feature.
- Handover: We walk you through the completed installation and explain the main components and the care they need. Confirm the handover details for fish, plants and ongoing maintenance with us as part of your project.
A typical installation takes 5 days on site. This is the usual on-site duration provided for this service; confirm the expected schedule for your property when we assess it.
What you need to provide
Please arrange practical access to the installation area and let us know what water and power are available there. The pump needs power to circulate water, and filling the basin requires water. We can discuss the site arrangements during the free visit, including any access restrictions that could affect the work.
Care after installation
The waterfall depends on its pump and filtration system to keep water moving through the feature. Keep the system accessible for checks, and pay attention to changes in water circulation or the condition of the water. The bowls contain biological ceramic filter media, and the rockery is planted with live ferns and greenery, so both the aquatic and planted sections need care.
Fish also need suitable ongoing care. Ask us what maintenance support is available for your installation, or see our professional garden maintenance service for garden care after handover. We can confirm the specific care requirements for the design and equipment in your quotation.
How it compares with other water features
A crescent-arch waterfall aquarium combines a fish-viewing tank, planted rockery and cascading water in one structure. A simpler water feature may suit you better if you want moving water without an aquarium. A larger koi pond may be a better fit if your priority is a more open pond layout rather than a compact courtyard feature.
The right choice depends on the space and what you want to see and maintain. We can review these options during the site visit rather than assume the crescent-arch design suits every garden.
Frequently asked questions
Can I have koi or goldfish in the aquarium?
The curved viewing window is designed for koi and goldfish. Discuss the intended fish and the proposed tank with us during design so the installation can be planned for your requirements.
Does the water circulate continuously?
The design uses a submersible pump and a hidden rear PVC biological filtration chamber to circulate water through the tiered spillways and back into the main tank. The pump requires power to operate.
How long does installation take?
The usual on-site installation time is 5 days. We confirm the schedule for your property after the site visit.
Is the price fixed at KES 130,000?
No. KES 130,000 is the starting price per feature. The final price depends on the site and approved design, and we provide a quotation after a free site visit.

Key Features
A compact feature for patios and courtyards
The crescent-arch waterfall and rockery aquarium suits homes, businesses and hospitality spaces needing a garden focal point. Its compact footprint can fit where a larger pond may not, provided the site has room for construction access.
Curved aquarium basin with front viewing glass
A U-shaped masonry basin has a curved front viewing window for koi or goldfish. The glass gives you a front view of the fish, while the basin forms the base of the built water feature.
Crescent arch, rockery and cascading bowls
Sculpted rockwork sits beside a sweeping crescent arch, with three staggered bowls forming cascading spillways. A top planter cup holds an ambient lantern, bringing the planted rockery and moving water together in one feature.
Concealed filtration chamber and submersible pump
A concealed chamber at the rear houses the filtration system, while a submersible pump circulates water back into the main tank. The feature needs a reliable power supply and ongoing attention to its water system and fish.
Site visit, approved design and five-day installation
We begin with a free site visit, then share a design for your approval before installation. The price starts at KES 130,000 per feature, and a typical on-site installation takes 5 days. At handover, we explain the main components and care needs.
How It Works
Visit the site and check the space
We start with a free site visit to assess your patio or courtyard, available space and construction access. We discuss the feature’s position and check the water and power available. This helps us decide whether the crescent-arch aquarium suits your site.
Agree the design and confirm the price
We prepare a design showing the U-shaped basin, curved viewing glass, rockery, crescent arch and cascading bowls. You review and approve it before work begins. Prices start at KES 130,000 per feature; we confirm the scope and quotation for your site.
Confirm access and site requirements
Before installation, we confirm the practical arrangements for the work, including access and the water and reliable power supply the feature needs. The pump uses power to circulate water through the basin and waterfall, so tell us about any site limitations during planning.
Build and install the water feature
Our team builds the masonry basin and rockery, fits the curved viewing glass, then installs the waterfall components. We fit the concealed rear filtration chamber and submersible pump. A typical installation takes 5 days on site.
Review the feature and go through its care
At handover, we walk you through the completed feature and explain its main components and care needs. The water system and fish need ongoing attention. Confirm the handover details for fish, plants and maintenance with us as part of your project.
