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.
On a fairly flat, rectangular lot in Woodside, our job was build masonry walls to surround a pool and spa behind the existing house. The goal was to achieve the feel of a natural mountain setting and blend in with the style of an Alpine Mountain Lodge. Our job was to construct masonry walls and paving. It was necessary to achieve exact plumb of walls (true vertical) and exact level (horizontal height) of wall cap and coping. On walls and paving, we applied stone veneer of a river rock blend with very tight joints. The blend of three stones was laid in a random pattern.
Landscape Boluders: Yuba boulders weighing up to 30-tons were set in place around the pools.
Yuba Boulders: Yuba boulders were placed with a 200-ton crane.
Boulder Landscape: California River Rock are placed for a natural mountain setting.
Mountain Landscape: Yuba Boulders and California River Rock provide a natural mountain setting.
Mountain Lodge: River Rock edging and stepping stones create an alpine pool.
Alpine Pool: Boulders above the pool create an alpine mountain setting.
Alpine Meadow: Landscape plants add to the natural look of the placed river rock.
River Rock Wall: The wall by the pool is veneered with a blend of three river stones. Laid in a random pattern they have very tight joints.
