“Natural water features are<br />

much more than just water<br />

falling over a pile of rocks.<br />

They invoke an emotion<br />

and have a spiritual affect<br />

on people. I started this<br />

company with the dream of<br />

creating environments that<br />

appeal to all the senses.”<br />
