Custom water features

Welcoming water into your lifestyle

  • Cement flagstones, textured like natural stone

Nothing soothes like the sound of flowing waters. But there are a few things you should know.

Natural streams are abundant in parts of the islands, and they can pose challenges: times of low- or no-flow, then flooding, pollution from upstream, even changing course without regard for gardens and houses. On the other hand, custom water features can be designed for reliability and simplified maintenance, and to include the features you want in a way that works well in the intended location.

Partners in clime…
See how some projects include island-style water features to complement (or as part of) residential swimming pools.

A man-made water feature recirculates its water. A container or liner prevents the water from seeping away. A pump keeps things flowing and, often, some sort of filtration helps keep the water quality good. Some use pool-type chemicals, some don’t need them; some allow (or require) water plants and fish, others don’t. Discuss your wishes, the options, and any tradeoffs with your designer/contractor, using their expertise to guide your choices. And have this talk before drawing up your plans!

We can work with your architect, your landscape designer… or your rough sketch on a napkin. Or ask our design and construction team to put together a proposal for your project. We’ll be happy to work with you to achieve the best result possible.
