Pondless Waterfall at the front entrance of this home is the perfect
accent to the sitting area at the other end of the paito. All the enjoyment of the waterfall without the worry of a
pond.

Like many customers, this client wanted to install their project over several phases.
We do our best to breakdown the job and stay within our customer's budgets. The first part of this project included
moving an above ground pool so the driveway could be expanded. Due to the sloping property in the backyard, we had to
build a retaining wall to support the backside of the pool. Once the pool was successfully moved, we then began working on the next phase of
the project. The customers expressed a desire to have a patio space in the front of the house where they could sit and
someday enjoy a small pond. Although the pond was the last phase of the project, we designed a new front entrance that
included a retaining wall along the driveway, steps and a walkway leading to the front door and a small patio to one side.
The area for the pond was to be done at a later date. When the customers were ready for the final phase of the project, we talked about
various pond options. They finally decided to have a pondless waterfall feature installed between the walkway and the
retaining wall. The water is continually circulating and there is no 'pond' or basin. This type of water
feature is safer for small children.
