Finding inspiration
Landscapers and landowners are encouraged to explore and seek out examples of possibilities in nature and at public and private gardens to become further educated and excited about the potential of water within a landscape or garden. The esthetic and emotional benefits a water feature can bring to a client are monumental. If it is designed and built in a high quality, multi-dimensional manner, a pond, stream or waterfall will retain the client’s interest for years to come, translating into possible referrals.
