Living Rock

The genesis of all water features created by man since pre-history has been the interpretation of natural springs emanating from the "living rock." Long before the Ancient Greeks worshiped at the Holy Spring at Delphi, the "Grotto," where clear, clean water appeared from a hillside, man has placed great significance on these special places.

Recreating these "special places" has been the most satisfying and rewarding in my more than thirty-year career of designing and building all types of water features. The key thing that separates what I call Living Rock water features from all others is the location, scope and final appearance which is partially determined by the existing landscape and surroundings. After a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of the area, the most appropriate site that incorporates existing native rocks is chosen for the location of a Living Rock water feature. Sensitivity for the welfare of the native plants and animals is of upmost importance and always taken into account when creating living rock water features.
