Fountains

Decorative aquatic features have had sensory appeal since they were used in ancient Greece as odes to Aphrodite, the greek goddess of love. While we may no longer be paying homage to the old greek gods by building a fountain, one thing remains the same;

The elegance and grandeur fountains can bring to any landscape.

Ponds

Garden ponds add beauty and tranquility to your garden area. From reflective Japanese koi ponds to ornamental grass frog ponds, we can install and maintain quality residential ponds to build the landscape atmosphere you are looking for.

Although water gardens can be almost any size or depth, they are typically small and relatively shallow, generally less than twenty inches in depth. This is because most aquatic plants are depth sensitive and require a specific water depth in order to thrive. The particular species inhabiting each water garden will ultimately determine the actual surface area and depth required.

Quality garden ponds start with precise planning and materials which are capable of lasting through the harsh north east winters.

Waterfalls

Selecting a waterfall design depends on your own tastes but it is wise to look around at other projects and photos to compare features and design. Will a particular fountain complement your landscape plan, or is it too large and invasive? Our landscape professionals can help guide you through the entire process.
Waterfall design should consider property slopes and architecture styles, connecting ponds or pools and water flow. A common mistake is to build a tall/large waterfall. While the result may be a dramatic change to your landscape, it could appear out of place among your existing landscape features. In most cases, a smaller waterfall will  give you the sounds and visual pleasure you want while providing better balance and harmony with your existing landscape design.
