Water Features
​Water is associated with change, adaptability, and flow.
Present in all life, water encapsulates the quality of resilience and provides a vital resource to the surrounding flora and fauna.
Water is the cornerstone of every resilient landscape.
In nature, the oceans, lakes, rivers, and connecting waterways are the lifeblood of our planet. In the Pacific Northwest, water is the element at work carving the coastlines and river valleys of the Cascade Range, nurturing lush forests, and making way for rich biodiversity both above and below the surface.
​
The action of water shapes our region.
We build water features tailor-fit to the seasonal rainfall patterns of the Pacific Northwest, improving water usage and water quality both locally, and downstream. Our water features help preserve our most vital resource, bring movement, life, and a space for reflection to the landscape.

​Ponds & Naturalized Water Features: Natural swimming ponds/pools, waterfalls, and ecology ponds, bring a host of benefits to any outdoor space. Water enhances the aesthetic appeal of your landscape, creates a serene and inviting atmosphere, promotes biodiversity by attracting all manner of critters, birds, and beneficial insects, contributing to a balanced ecosystem. ​

​Rain Gardens & Bioswales: Water features that slow, filter, and absorb rainwater help restore the water-table, protect local waterways from sediments and pollutants, and purify water with the help of plants, mushrooms, and microorganisms.

Stormwater Management & Drainage: Low Impact Development systems designed to mitigate runoff, prevent erosion, improve drainage, and move water responsibly through the landscape during heavy rainfall and flood events.

Small Scale Water Features: Adapted to fit in smaller spaces, these features bring the tranquil qualities of water in a condensed format. From miniature patio and corner-pocket ponds, to carved stone fountains, vernal pools and habitat ponds, big relaxation comes in small packages.

Cold Immersion/Cold Plunge: Cold immersion pools offer numerous benefits for physical and mental well-being. This practice facilitates recovery by minimizing inflammation and muscle soreness, and increasing blood circulation. Exposure to cold triggers a rapid release of endorphins resulting in feelings of euphoria, improved mood, increased energy levels, reduced stress and heightened alertness.
