Water Feature Facelift!

Water features are simply one of the best ways to enhance your landscape.   However, they can become an eye soar when they become outdated, not installed correctly or pumps break down and the waterfeature as whole doesn't work properly.

Oh no... concrete!

It's amazing how many water features we come across that have been "sitting idle" for years, become overgrown with plant material and become a "paper weight" in your yard.  A rather large paper weight. :)  Some were installed many years ago and have become outdated... so to speak.

This was the case for one of our customers.   One of the pumps stopped working and the plantings around it became overgrown and stale looking over time.  The waterfalls themselves were installed using concrete which in my opinion is a "no, no" because you want your water feature to look as close as it would in nature.  I don't know any natural waterfall that I've ever seen that has concrete on or around it.  

These folks asked us to put the life back into their water feature and we did just that!

We started by breaking out the existing concrete... replacing it with pond liner, river cobble and tiered flagstone to give the waterfall a  natural cascading effect.   We then tore out the old plantings (mostly made up of grasses) and replaced them with vibrant color to create a true oasis in their back yard.
