"A True Destination Place"

From their humble beginnings as a design build firm specializing in the creation of  naturalistic  waterfalls, streams and ponds, they quickly grew into a leader in the Kansas  City  marketplace serving business and residential customers with their innovative products  and artistic craftsmanship. The Swan’s started their business with a commitment of  transforming boring backyards into magical places by designing and building their beautiful  water features.

Arriving at Swan's Water Gardens is like entering a charming garden village complete with  covered bridges, scenic pathways winding through beautiful water gardens, magnificent  waterfalls and peaceful streams.  You'll find quaint arbors and benches along the way where  you can sit and relax taking in the breathtaking sights and sounds of a true water garden  paradise. The soothing effects that the sound of water has on all of us will quickly cause your  mind to wander as if you had been taken to a far away place where all the troubles and stress  of our daily lives is but a distant memory. Calm sets in, complete peace and harmony  consumes  our very souls. As you sit and admire the colorful fish swimming about with  beautiful flowering lilies showing off as they stand proud and tall above the ponds surface.  Butterflies flitter here and there and a occasional bird lands in the stream to bathe and drink  until content then off to the cover of a nearby tree to preen it's feathers.  Your attention soon  turns to a sleepy eyed frog resting on a rock taking it all in while keeping an eye out for a  tasty little snack to fly by.

As you make your way along the pathways you'll discover many different varieties of  ornamental grasses, shrubs and flowers to enjoy as you feel secluded from the outside world.  At each turn there's a different pond with it's own unique waterfalls to give you a totally  different perspective and look so you may envision what it would be like in your backyard.
