Water features are no longer problem areas. Not many elements transform a landscape or courtyard like a water feature. Whether it's a dramatic rock waterfall spilling into a Koi pond, a sheer decent water wall, a group of spires, a simple basalt fountain, or a quiet pond, water works it's magic on any yard by providing a focal point and is very soothing to the soul. Moving water provides background music and masks traffic and other noises. Imagine reading a book outdoors with the tranquility of a water feature.
Developing a successful scale landscape design incorporating landscape elements you wish to implement, site, architecture and budget does many things. The landscape design involves analyzing, planning and creating different elements all tied together using a variety of outdoor construction techniques and materials. A scale drawing allows you to feel and visualize the flow of the yard and how you are going to live within it. Landscape designs provide a view of plantings when full grown keeping plants under control and ongoing maintenance low.
