Verne's work is amazing and impossible to describe with just words… Once a year Verne’s team will come by and perform maintenance on the waterfall feature which keeps it looking great and virtually eliminates any effort from me to maintain the landscaping.

A great water feature is all about the details you don't see. We use professional-grade foam, not just to prevent leaks, but to direct the flow of water and perfectly hide the liner underneath. It's the little, often-overlooked details that make a water feature truly look like a part of nature.

A decorative fountain doesn't just add a beautiful centerpiece to your yard—it brings it to life. The calming sound of bubbling water creates a tranquil atmosphere, while the sight of birds fluttering down to bathe and drink provides endless delight. Even in winter, the fountain becomes a work of art as it freezes into magical ice formations.
