We shape falls into existing grades and rock outcrops, which makes them look natural instead of staged.
Red and buff sandstone is chosen to echo the formations around Perry Park, so the stone fits its setting.
Basins and pumps are sized to keep top offs small, a real advantage for homes on private wells.
Height, stone size, and access shape the cost more than anything else. A slope saves on imported fill, but heavy sandstone on a steep or tight lot may need a small loader or extra hands. Longer power runs add to the total too. Larkspur estimates break out stone, basin, pump, and labor so you can see which choices move the number.
When an outcrop sits right where water wants to fall, we often build the falls around it. That keeps the natural rock as the star and cuts down on how much new stone we bring in.
At this elevation the falls usually run from late spring into mid fall. We show you how to shut it down before hard freezes.
A falls can feed a stream winding down the slope and sit among large boulders placed around it. Explore our Larkspur hardscaping services to plan the setting around the water.
We walk the slope, find where water would naturally fall, and review power, access, and well considerations.
Our crew cuts the basin into the grade, lays liner under the stone, and stacks sandstone ledges for each drop.
After filling, we balance the splash, hide every pipe, and cover startup and shutdown for your elevation.
