Case study
Waterfalls and water features
A water feature is the thing a landscape is remembered by. These projects range from a backyard waterfall over natural stone to a commercial courtyard feature and a company entrance feature, each built with the rockwork and circulation that make moving water look effortless and last.
The idea
Moving water that looks like it belongs
A good water feature does not look built. The water falls at the right rate, the rock looks like it was always there, and the sound carries to where people actually sit. Getting there takes more than a pump and a pile of stone: it takes the grading, the hidden reservoir or pond, the liner, and the circulation sized to the feature, so the water runs clear and the whole thing keeps working for years.
These projects span the range, from an intimate backyard waterfall to a feature big enough to anchor a commercial courtyard or greet visitors at an entrance, all built to be seen, heard, and left running with minimal fuss.
The range
From a backyard to an entrance
Water features come in very different sizes and settings. These are the kinds we build across metro Atlanta.
-
Residential waterfalls
Water spilling over stacked natural boulders into a planted pond, tucked into a backyard where it can be seen and heard from the patio. Built with the rockwork, liner, and circulation that make it look like it has always been there.
-
Commercial courtyard features
A larger, more architectural feature for a courtyard or common area, a formal basin or spillway that gives a commercial property a calm, memorable center and stands up to daily public use.
-
Company entrance features
A waterfall or feature at the entrance to a property, where it sets the tone before anyone reaches the door. Designed to read at driving speed and to hold up as a first impression, year-round.
-
Pondless and low-maintenance options
For a property that wants the sound of water without a pond to keep, a pondless waterfall or bubbling fountain recirculates through a hidden reservoir, so there is far less to maintain.
Representative work
A look at the features we build
Representative examples of residential, courtyard, and entrance water features. These are examples of the kind of work we do, not a client-by-client portfolio; our own project photos are added here at launch.
