New Waterfall Construction: Natural and Artificial Features
A core service is the construction of entirely new waterfalls and grottos, offering clients the choice between a natural aesthetic using real rock and a more controlled, often intricate look with artificial (regular) materials. When building with real rock, the focus is on selecting, placing, and mortaring stones to mimic a natural cascade found in nature, ensuring water flows beautifully over and around the features. Conversely, artificial waterfalls and grottos provide greater design flexibility and often allow for the creation of complex shapes, hidden coves, or dramatic, sheer drops that might be difficult or impossible to achieve with natural stone. Regardless of the material, the goal is to design a durable, visually stunning, and audibly pleasing water feature that becomes the centerpiece of the outdoor space.
Integrating Waterfalls with Existing Pools and Renovations
This service focuses on seamlessly integrating new waterfalls into properties that already have a functioning full pool or as a key component of a pool renovation project. For existing pools, the installation requires careful planning to manage plumbing and structural connections without draining or damaging the current pool structure. This is a fantastic way to instantly upgrade a plain pool with a dynamic, resort-like feel. When part of a renovation, adding a waterfall allows for a complete transformation, where the new water feature, often alongside new decking or coping, revitalizes the entire pool area and modernizes its look and function. This specialized work ensures the new water feature is structurally sound and aesthetically harmonious with the existing environment.
Ground-Up Pond and Waterfall Combinations
For clients seeking a complete, self-contained aquatic ecosystem, the service involves building pond and waterfall combinations from the ground up. These projects are comprehensive, encompassing everything from initial excavation and proper liner installation to the strategic placement of rocks and the installation of pumps, filtration systems, and aquatic planting zones. The waterfall aspect is crucial, as it serves not only as a beautiful visual element but also as a natural aerator for the pond’s fish and plant life, ensuring a healthy environment. This service results in a fully integrated, low-maintenance, and serene water garden that adds a significant element of tranquility and biodiversity to the landscape.
Waterfall Leak Repair: The "Seal and Re-Grout" Process
Specialized repair work focuses on fixing leaks and structural deterioration in both pool and pond waterfalls through a detailed process called “seal and re-grout.” Water features often leak due to material settlement, cracked grout lines, or voids behind the rockwork. The process involves a thorough inspection to remove any loose material and then sealing all cracks and voids using high-quality, flexible sealants to halt the water loss. Following the sealing phase, a concrete overlay is applied to all existing concrete and, critically, to the joints between the rocks. This overlay restores the structural integrity, creates a new, waterproof surface, and effectively stops the leaks, giving the aged or damaged waterfall a fresh, durable, and watertight lifespan without needing a complete tear-down.
