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.\u00a0 The goal was to simulate the natural environment found in alpine regions in Europe.\u00a0 Our job was to install natural boulders extracted from the bed and banks of a California river.\u00a0 Yuba stone boulders were used for landscape elements in the water feature.\u00a0 To achieve this effect, we used a 200-ton crane to lift, boom, and install boulders of up to 30 tons in weight.\u00a0 The stones and boulders had to be carved and polished with power tools to ensure the tight fit designed to achieve a natural appearance.\u00a0 After installation, small trees, bushes and flowers were planted around the boulders to give the entire area a natural appearance.
