CASCADING BACKYARD RETREAT

Our client's initial wish for a water feature unfolded into a breathtaking backyard oasis, a testament to the power of collaborative design. Together, we envisioned and crafted a stunning 100 linear foot waterfall with over 40 feet of drop that became the centerpiece of this remarkable transformation.

This captivating water feature weaves beneath the expansive flagstone patio, creating a dramatic reveal as it reappears on the other side, culminating in a small pond. A recirculation system ensures that the water flows continuously.

 

The transformation extended far beyond the waterfall. A large flagstone patio provides ample space for lounging and entertaining, while a stacked stone gas-burning fire pit is now the heart of cozy evenings outdoors. Stone step treads offer safe navigation throughout the multi-level space. A flagstone-capped sidewalk and walls add a touch of elegance, while the strategically placed outdoor lighting package illuminates the space after dark. 

 

This once unusable backyard has been reborn as a neighborhood jewel. Visible from the nearby golf course, it serves as an inspiration to all who see it. The project exemplifies what happens when creative vision meets meticulous execution.
