CASCADING WATERFALL When a large landscape demands a dramatic feature, nothing is more sensational than great quantities of water pouring over boulders, scattering light and sound. Constructing natural looking waterfalls is an art that Gardens of Rice Creek takes very seriously.
TRICKLING SPRING
A small waterfall can make a quiet accompaniment to a meditation garden, or add compelling interest and veracity to a rocky alpine scene. Discovered rather than dramatized, the modest scale of a trickling spring is charming.
CHILDRENS' GARDENS
Water is the centerpiece of many a fondly remembered garden from one's youth. A stream, a pool or even a simple birdbath magically brings the sky down to a child's level. Along with trees to climb, paths to run on and a hidden seat on which to read a book, our designs for child-friendly landscapes go far beyond a sandbox and swing set.
GROUND LEVEL BIRDBATH
Just a little water goes a long way. This birdbath reflects the sky, drawing curiosity and welcoming birds like a magnet. Right by the back door, it is easy to sweep out and fill with a hose. Dwarf perennials flanking the sides give the effect of a mountain pool.
GOLDFISH POND
Goldfish add a sunny surprise to outdoor ponds and are surprisingly hardy.
