LEFT: This dramatic, sheer descent water feature can be seen from many rooms
inside the house and provides a soothing sound for outdoor enjoyment.
From a custom overhead structure, the water cascades into a custom-painted
horse trough. Bamboo, horsetail, and Red Hot Poker plantings complete the
tropical feel.

FACING PAGE TOP LEFT: This pool features an oversized mosaic tile fountain
with three sheer descents and a raised planter behind to create a stunning
visual focal point. The contemporary pool incorporates a spa and an
automatic cover for safety—and for keeping those leaves out when not in use.

decorative custom pond that invites meditation with its natural-looking,
