The two pictures above show the beginning of a 110' long stream, which we recently completed for a new client, with a 15' drop from top to bottom. The 10,000 gallon per hour pump fills the 4' wide stream with a water depth varying from 3" to 8".

The sound the rushing stream creates as it flows over the streambed and between the boulders varies from a soothing trickle in the small pool areas behind large boulders to a deafening rush as it drops 8' in a distance of about 30' .

The soft lighting on the stream and waterfall dramatically light the pondless waterfall allowing the clients to sit outside at night and relax to the sound of the water. The location of the waterfall and stream in front of the house certainly creates a unique approach to the front door.

There is also a large Koi watergarden located immediately adjacent to the back of the residence which is a wall glass.......
This picture of the rapids was taken the same day we turned the pump on, so the filters had not removed the quarry dust from the water. After about 3 days the water runs crystal clear as you can see in the picture of the waterfalls on the right above.
