Planning your water feature

Find your direction

A place to begin

See what speaks to you

This page is here to help you think through the direction of your water feature — before a single stone is set. Use it as a planning companion: notice the feeling you want, the scale that fits your property, the way water, stone, and vegetation might live together outside your door.

Save the images that stay with you. Bring them to your free on-site consultation. They become a language we can share — a starting point for a feature designed for your yard, not a copy of someone else’s.

These water features (below) were not built by StonyBrookFalls. They are gathered as ideas — a gallery to help you imagine what’s possible (all other photos and videos on our site are of projects built by StonyBrookFalls).
