On a fairly flat, rectangular lot in Woodside, our job was to create a natural setting for a waterfall with water flowing into an alpine pool. The goal was to simulate the natural environment found in alpine regions in Europe. Our job was to install natural boulders extracted from the bed and banks of a California river. Yuba stone boulders were used for landscape elements in the water feature. To achieve this effect, we used a 200-ton crane to lift, boom, and install boulders of up to 30 tons in weight. The stones and boulders had to be carved and polished with power tools to ensure the tight fit designed to achieve a natural appearance. After installation, small trees, bushes and flowers were planted around the boulders to give the entire area a natural appearance.
Cascade: Yuba stone boulders were placed to create three waterfalls.
Stepping Stones: California River Stones and Boulders create a watershed landscape.
Hillside Pool: A river rock blend of three stones were laid in a tight random pattern in the wall that defines the edge of the pool.
Upper Stream: Natural boulders were installed to direct the flow of the stream.
Waterfall into Pool: Stones and boulders were carved and polished to ensure a tight fit and a natural look.
Boulders: Natural River Rock are set to created stepping stones across an alpine pond.
Alpine Pools: Waterfalls are designed to create the look of an alpine pool.
Residence by Pool: The swimming pool is a step away from the residence.
Pool and Residence: Yuba River boulders up to 30 tons were set with a 200-ton crane.
Upper Waterway: Rocks and boulders are carved with power tools to ensure a tight fit with a natural appearance.
