Water features are today's hottest trend in landscaping. Across America, high maintenance, boring expanses of lawn are being transformed into beautiful, low maintenance water features. Everyday millions of people return home to a little paradise...their own backyards!
Environmentally friendly and completely customized water features can be installed anywhere - similar to traditional landscaping. As with landscaping, well-maintained water features mature with age, increasing the value of your house more than any other kind of home improvement.
Because moving water involves all the senses, your water feature will be the focal point of your yard. Perennial plantings, ornamental grasses, and ground covers naturalize the water's edge, and no pond is complete without an adjacent deck, patio, or gazebo to permit a more up-close and personal appreciation of your water feature. If you prefer, you can do your project in stages - adding plants and a patio in upcoming seasons.

Pools & Ponds
Our belief is that it is human nature to be attracted to water, be it creeks, streams, rivers, lakes or oceans. Peaceful, soul satisfying mysteries are inherent in the waters around us. Throughout our history, incorporating water into the immediate environment has been our time-honored practice. It is the substance of dreams and magic as our modern world increases in complexity, the simple tranquility of water in the garden invites us to create tangible, serene moments. However, creating the delight of a water garden or pool in the backyard takes a great deal more than a common landscape contractor. Meticulously, through our plan staging, we can factor a successful implementation of your dreams into a reality. |

Waterfalls
The enchantment of flowing water is so pervasive that people will travel hundreds of miles to go see it. Wishing to replicate these natural waterfalls and streams into their outdoor rooms or indoor atriums, today’s architectural waterfalls, fountains and ponds are becoming increasingly popular with both our residential and commercial clients.
Architectural waterfalls are obviously man made and tend to geometric shapes for a more formal look. For the natural look, the placement of rocks is what really makes or breaks your waterfall character. There are no firm rules here. They key to a great waterfall is years of experience and a very different flare for variety as well as a full understanding of what Mother Nature will and will not allow.

Stone Walls
Our walls are of the utmost in quality and old world tradition. We try to bring the best of the past into the present. Way before the years of masonry supplies, walls were structurally built with rock and rock alone. Here at Stephen J.
