“In early 2020 we hired Verne to build us a wate “In early 2020 we hired Verne to build us a water feature. He created an 80 foot long stream with 20 waterfalls dropping 11 feet down the hillside in front of our home. We live in a forested area of El Dorado county California, and Verne’s waterfall looks like it has been here for 1,000 years. His crew were very hardworking and they also landscaped our entire yard with California Native plants from Verne’s nursery. To top it all off, at night the whole stream lights up. He strategically laid out the stream so it can be viewed from the office, living room, dining room and kitchen.” Click for full project gallery: (link in bio) https://www.cowboygardener.com/water-features-northern-ca/portfolio-items/sierra-springs/ #waterfeatures #waterfalls #aquascape #ponds #backyardpond #ponddesign #landscapeideas #backyardideas #dreambackyard #outdoorlivingspace #outdoorliving #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #landscape #smallgardenspaces #horticulture #wildflower #flora #naturephotography #nativeplants #gardenstyles #nativegarden #koiponds #streams #aquaticplants #fountains #naturalponds #backyard #fountains #staycation

Verne and his crew took my pitiful attempt at an A Verne and his crew took my pitiful attempt at an Aquascape waterfall and turned it into an incredibly beautiful water feature. They used native rock, and California native plants to make it look like it has always been a part of the landscape. They were very knowledgeable, professional with great artistic vision. Great attention to detail, and meticulous in execution. They very carefully cleaned up after the job was completed.
