Two-Tier Hollow Tree-Trunk & Lotus-Leaf Waterfall Pond
This two-tier hollow tree-trunk and lotus-leaf waterfall pond suits homes and businesses seeking a garden water feature. For a waterfall pond in Nairobi, we start with a free site visit, share a design for approval, then install it.
A two-tier hollow tree-trunk and lotus-leaf waterfall pond in Nairobi combines a koi pond, glass aquarium and cascading water in one garden feature. GreenBoma builds it as a self-circulating centrepiece, with a hidden filtration system; the starting price is KES 145,000.
The lower level is a circular split-basin pond made from brick and concrete, sculpted and hand-painted to resemble weathered tree bark. Above it, a hollow faux-timber ring houses a semicircular glass aquarium. Sculpted lotus-leaf spillways send water into the upper tank, then dual spouts return it to the lower ponds. A planted ring bed and stepped centre access complete the design.
Is this waterfall pond right for your garden?
This feature suits homeowners and businesses looking for a prominent water feature with an aquarium display and space for aquatic life. It works best where the site can accommodate the pond’s footprint, provide suitable access for installation and support the pump and water connections.
It may not suit a small garden, a site with difficult access or someone seeking a low-cost, compact feature. The exact space, access and utility requirements depend on your site and the final design. We check these during the free site visit.
If you want moving water without an aquarium and split-basin pond, compare this design with our other water features. For a more compact, product-specific option, see the Crescent-Arch Waterfall & Rockery Aquarium or the Two-Tier Koi Pond & Pagoda Aquarium.
How much does a two-tier waterfall pond cost?
The starting price is KES 145,000. This is a starting figure, not a confirmed price for every site or specification. The final quote depends on the design and the work required at your property. Every quote starts with a free site visit, where we can assess the space and discuss the feature you want.
The listed price does not specify whether fish, plants or any particular accessories are included. Confirm these in the design and quote before work begins: [CHECK: confirm what the KES 145,000 starting price includes, including fish, plants and accessories].
How we plan and install the feature
- Free site visit: We look at the proposed location, measure the available space and discuss access, water and power. We also check how the feature will sit within the garden.
- Design for approval: We prepare a design for you to review before installation. It should show the arrangement of the lower pond, upper aquarium, spillways and planted ring bed. Confirm dimensions and finishes on the approved design: [CHECK: design dimensions and finish options].
- Installation: We build the circular brick-and-concrete split basin, shape and paint the faux-bark finish, then position the upper hollow trunk and glass aquarium. We fit the lotus-leaf spillways and connect the submersible pump to the multi-chamber biological filtration system, which uses filter brushes and ceramic media.
- Circulation check and handover: We check that water moves through the feature and overflows from the upper tank into the lower ponds. At handover, we explain the agreed system and care requirements. Exact testing and handover checks: [CHECK: confirm commissioning checks and handover instructions].
The on-site installation time is not listed. We confirm the expected duration after assessing your site and the approved design
What you need to provide
The feature uses a submersible pump, so it needs a suitable power connection and water for filling and operation. The exact connection location, electrical requirements, access arrangements and any site preparation are confirmed during the visit: Please raise any access restrictions before approving the quote.
Care after installation
The filtration system is part of the feature, but it still needs routine attention. Keep an eye on water level and flow, and check the filter brushes and pump in line with the handover instructions. Remove leaves or other debris when needed. The correct cleaning schedule and any water-treatment guidance depend on the final setup:
GreenBoma offers garden maintenance plans after handover. Ask us to confirm whether pond and filtration care can be included in the maintenance scope for your property. You can also pair the feature with outdoor garden lighting or discuss the surrounding layout through bespoke garden design.
Frequently asked questions
Does the feature include koi?
The design is described as a koi pond and aquarium, but fish inclusion is not specified. Confirm whether koi or other aquatic life are included in your quote:
Is this the same as a standard waterfall?
No. This design combines a lower split-basin pond, an upper glass aquarium, sculpted spillways and biological filtration. A simpler water feature may suit you better if you do not want an aquarium or pond display.
How long will installation take?
The installation duration depends on the site and final design. We provide the expected on-site time after the free visit:
Can it be installed at a business property?
Yes. The service is for homes and businesses. We assess the available space, access and utility connections before confirming the design and quote.

Key Features
Circular split-basin pond with a hand-painted bark finish
The lower pond is a circular split basin built from brick and concrete. Its sculpted, hand-painted surface is finished to resemble weathered tree bark.
Hollow faux-timber ring with a glass aquarium
A hollow faux-timber ring sits above the pond and houses a semicircular glass aquarium. The two-level arrangement makes the aquarium part of the water feature.
Lotus-leaf spillways create a self-circulating cascade
Sculpted lotus-leaf spillways carry water into the upper tank, while dual spouts return it to the lower ponds. The arrangement creates a self-circulating cascade.
Hidden pump and multi-chamber biological filtration
A submersible pump moves water through a hidden, multi-chamber biological filtration system. Filter brushes and ceramic media form part of the system.
