This is what is below the illustrated Infinity Edge pool in the post below. The water going over that Infinity Edge needs to go somewhere! We collected the flowing water in a catchment below the falls and directed the water to cascade over this, more naturalistic falls, down below and completely out of sight. It is an utterly separate environment and provides privacy and the gurgling and soothing sound of water for the cool couple who lives there. Sandy loves this as a retreat, opting to take a book down by the “babbling brook” for a read and some sunshine. Notice the rockery stair system for the entrance to below.

One of my favorite speculations is in what is next in design and artistic work in my chosen trade. I will include various examples, not necessarily all by me, as this one is not, which illustrate what CAN be done in the wacky world of landscape design. This one is remarkable and enchanting, just amazingly eye catching. So hard to imagine some bricks yielding an effect like this, is it not? I have some products of futuristic sorts of things and, as I get them scanned, will produce some of this.

Among effects possible in watrefalls, the more formal types of constructions can allow the water to fall in a sheet, falling over a perfectly level course into a pond catchment. What occurs is fairly amazing, a continual, yet moving “sheet” of water which is in motion yet seemingly perfect. The hottest part about these are what lights do to them. This one pictured is one of two in the same back yard.

This is a really cool item. The homeowners asked me to provide an “Infinity (also “Disappearing”) Edge Waterfall”, in their backyard, which would appear, from their living room, to fall into the large pond about a quarter mile down below. The old “water into water” routine. Fortunately, it worked! It is composed of concrete, for the most part, and has a cantilevered edge at the house side. These constructions are challenging as heck but very satisying, in the end. This one worked out well. I will post the downside of this in another blog, later, but I can tell you it is collected and focused into yet another, naturalistic waterfall which runs by a patio and is below the grade at the top, making yet another and more private seating and picnic area. The lady of the house loves reading by the creek! A very bright light inside the upper blue pond makes for a surrealistic nighttime effect. Very fun.
