Asheville Area Pond and Waterfall

So I have been in the Asheville area for about 4 months now and I have been inspired greatly by all the beautiful waterfalls and streams in the mountains here.

I have been working on a waterfall in Madison County, just outside of Asheville, this past month. It is an amazingly beautiful place, in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains not far from the Appalachian trail. It has been a great place to do some fun rock work and landscaping.

I have been working with Reems Creek Nursery and Landscaping out of Weaverville, NC on this project. Reems Creek is an awesome outfit with kind and talented people. I hope to be able to continue to do projects with them for years to come.

The waterfall and pond we have been working on used approx. 35 tons of local Granite fieldstone. It has 3 ponds and two waterfalls. The first waterfall is a cascading fall that drops about 6 feet into the lower pond that we built.

The second waterfall is a straight 3 foot drop off a 1000 lb flat Granite falls rock. Both falls offer a stunning view to our clients from any place in their house. 
It has been fun to work with local stone, trucked in from no more than 30 miles from where they where harvested.
This is different from working in Santa Cruz, where we would have stone trucked in from all over the state, if not from farther away.

I am excited to see the plans God has for us and this company working in Asheville, recreating the beautiful waterfalls and landscapes we all enjoy in this area.

Being a landscape contractor in Asheville, or anywhere, can be difficult, but at the end of the day when we look at the waterfall or landscape we have helped to create, it makes all the hard work worth it.
