Ferrell Project

The challenges on this site can best be summed up in four words:

Our client wanted a very natural, realistic stream/waterfall built into the side of a very steep hill in his yard. The hill was a wild area that he wanted to reclaim, filled with weeds and other undesirable plants. 

The biggest challenge with this hill was access, and getting many tons of natural stone and rock placed up and down this hill was difficult indeed, but worth the effort, as the photos suggest. He wanted stone steps from bottom to top of hill, with a stone bridge crossing the stream at some point. He wanted some large sitting rocks placed in strategic areas along the stream. At his request we used several types of stone to achieve different effects. Stone from South Dakota, New York, Tennessee and other places was used to full effect.
 
This water-feature is what's known in the business as a "pond-less" system, where the water runs into a rock-filled reservoir at the lowest end of the feature, eliminating any pond or standing water, and the maintenance that goes along with them. You can turn the system on and off at will. Leaving for the weekend? Turn it off. Turn it back on when you return.
