We would love to meet with you and talk about water features. We are planning on being at the home both weekends, as well as Thursday and Friday evenings, so stop on by. Be sure to check the SCWBA website http://www.scwbaonline.com/ for details regarding hours, and where you can purchase tickets. The house on the tour is number 13.

The two features that we built at the home include:
- One that we would call a semi-formal water feature that incorporates a tall "seat wall" that has a waterfall that comes out the middle of the wall and drops into a shallow pool. The water feature was built using multiple styles of Unilock retaining wall blocks and pavers. Underwater lights were installed so the water feature can be enjoyed at night as well. The water feature is located so that it can be seen as you enter the home, looking straight ahead through the large picture windows in the back of the home. It is also visible from every room in the house with a window facing the back yard.
- The second feature is located in the front yard and is a smaller water feature that incorporates a Rimrock Spire stone that has been cored out to force water up through the center of it. The water cascades down the sides as it reaches the top of the stone. A basin is located beneath the stone and holds up to 75 gallons of water. This volume of water helps minimize the maintenance (i.e. how often you need to add water).
We hope to see you out there. If you are unable to make it, but would like to know more about the water features or see pictures of them, give us a call or send us an email.
Have a great day!
Shawn
