In love with the boulder work on this moss rock pond 🪨💦

We love the typical granite boulders we use, but whenever we get the opportunity to work with a different type of stone, our team gets pretty excited.

This moss rock, for example, has so much natural character. The cracks, crevices, and the moss and lichens covering the surface give every boulder its own unique look.

It’s details like these that help make a water feature feel like it truly belongs in the landscape. 🌿

🍂 Maintenance Minute: Leaf Netting 🍂

Tired of battling a major leaf load every fall? A leaf net is a great way to keep leaves out of your pond while still enjoying the beauty of your water feature!

When installing our nets, we don’t just focus on keeping leaves out. We also want to preserve your view of the water feature. That means strategically placing posts, straps, and other components to keep your net secure without obstructing those beautiful views. 💦

Want to spend less time scooping leaves and more time enjoying your water feature? Give us a call today to learn more about our fall leaf netting services! 📞

⚒️ Behind The Build ⚒️

Their old home had a water feature, so the new house needed one as well.

We designed this new pondless waterfall with a few key ideas in mind: great views from inside, great views from the porch, and minimal maintenance.

This waterfall nails everything on the homeowners checklist and they couldn’t be happier with their new water feature.
