Well, the new year has come. So far January has brought us some good rainfall, as well as the first water feature of the year. We just started, so I will post some pics in a week or so. It should turn out to be an interesting feature, with approx. 25 ft of head hight and 60 ft of streams and waterfalls.
Here is a couple pics from a different project we are finishing up in Boulder Creek.
Arizona Rose Select flagstone that we cut in to make a very attractive patio.

Here is a slide show and some before/ after pictures of a fun project we completed this season.
This project was built in Westside Santa Cruz, where the cool costal fog mixed with plenty of sun, allowed us to create a fun Tropical style landscape and water feature.
Before After
This feature is unique because our client wanted to create a more artistc feature, rather than the natural features we usualy build. He all ready had a natural looking water feature in another part of the yard, so this waterfall was designed with a little less rock and more concrete work.
Oh, and by the way, the project site was up 4 flight of stairs then up a latter.
Thats right, all the materials for this feature (4 tons of concrete, 2 tons of stone and misc. other materials) were hauled up to the site by hand!
Some products we used on this feature were:
--Aquafin 2k/m to seal the concrete. This is a great flexible water sealant. --Altlantic Color Falls. You can see this in the upper falls, with a clean 3 ft sheet of water, set recessed into the concrete. It has an LED ligh built into the box to iluminate the falls at night (night time pics soon to come).

Well, its been a tough year for waterscaping and landscaping in general. We are very thankfull to have any work, let alone some really fun projects. My thanks goes out to all my new cliets for allowing Living Waters to 'play in your backyard' as I sometimes joke.
My existing clients have also really come through for me this season.
It is a blessing to see our company grow with all your help.
Here are some of the projects we have completed this season:
