WATERFEATURES...WHAT'S NEW...
PROJECT GUILDFORD...Difficult location, 30 tons of Rock and Materials, had to be craned in over buildings! Steep, Rocky Stream pouring into a HIDDEN CHILDSAFE POOL with no visible water depth!
Before and After
This project was more logistically difficult than doing a Chelsea Flower Show and that's saying something!
We have to get from this above, to this next...
Without any access other than physically climbing over a 6' high wall...or bringing everything up three floors in the house, obviously not practical!
We have to to do is build a...
Childsafe Pool (above), with no visible water depth.
A Natural Rock Stream about 30'long, with a drop of about 12', using about thirty tons of materials...whilst perched on the side of hill!
Lovely view though! Here's Tom and Steve hand-digging out halfway down the stream.
Can you guess what's on the other end?
As I said...everything had to be moved in and out by a crane, in special bags that hold a ton of material each.
So how did the digger get there then?
Yep...even that had to be moved by crane from one level to the other...and out again of course.
But it was well worth it...more images to follow (with the clients permission), when the planting is done.
