water ...

... or a private nook in which to read or enjoy a cup of tea.
Residential Water Features
Imagine coming home after a hard day to somewhere where you could sit and listen to the gentle sound of a fountain. Or, perhaps a small waterfall is more your style. Maybe you like the idea of a fountain, because you have small children and need a "pondless" water feature for safety. Whatever your preference, we can work with you to find something that will fit both with your home and garden and your specific needs.
This waterfall in Auburndale, MA is near a patio so that the calming sound of falling water can be enjoyed.
This New Castle, NH fountain is constructed of large rocks, a southern sugar kettle, and a couple of playful frogs.
