Scope Of Work
A home at which we built a small pond back in 2002 was sold a few years ago. The new homeowner eventually contacted us, asking for the pond to be expanded. After several meetings it was determined that the client had many ideas for his property, not just for the immediate pond area.
His main request was to be surrounded by as much water as possible. The extreme terracing of the property makes machine and material access extremely difficult, but also naturally allows for multiple streams, water falls, and ponds, all working together, connected by walkways, stairs, and natural stone landings.
Besides the large number of ponds, streams, and falls, we also constructed several stone patios, stacked stone walls, stone veneered walls, cut and natural stone staircases, a set of “floating” stairs down to the main property level, boulder seating areas, and a fire pit area with natural stone and wood seating.
A wide selection of trees, shrubs, and flowers are planted throughout the property, as well as drainage systems and extensive landscape lighting, both submersible and terrestrial.
