Why do we do what we do?

We all go to work for one common goal, to make a living.  As a pond contractor I can honestly say this is one of our goals, but definitely not the most rewarding part of our business.

Everyday we meet people who want a pondless waterfall, fish pond, or fountainscape and everyone has a different reason why they would like to add one of these water features to their landscape in New Jersey.

Waterfall Construction

Pondless (Disappearing) Waterfall Construction

This particular pondless waterfall, we were asked to build, located in Morris County, NJ, was in a very wooded area and allowed us to truly blend the stream into the surrounding.  The total length of the stream is about 30′ of winding babbling brook that is just mesmerizing.  Don’t stop reading……  the answer to the question is here.

 

And so the journey begins…..

A Beautiful ending!

After we completed this great stream, I received a letter in the mail.  What was written in the letter is the reason we do what we do!  Here is an excerpt from the letter we received:

“She asked me to visit-which i am-because she is in my heart. I told her I’d visit her often as long as she was ok if I also made a special place for her-a contemplative garden respite-one that could tell her story and still allow me and… (others) a reflective and calm respite to remember my mom, each element reminding me of a different story about her and her exuberant joy for fun, love and life itself; and providing me a place to mourn that would be so much more emotionally helpful than a relatively barren landscape, interrupted only by cold square stones standing upright  or brass rectangular flush markers , easily overlooked in the grass.

You’ve helped me create a beautiful respite form the loss and sadness, and helped me recreate a story of joy, life and love.  What you and your crew created a beautiful, realistic, and “intoxicating” stream from the minimal concept/idae and material I provided.  You are truly gifted and atristic!”

This is just part of the letter, and I have to be honest, I got teary eyed.  Even though this stream is not using huge boulders and isn’t over the top it is by far the coolest one we have done to date.  Why?  Because there was an underlying reason as to why we were asked to install it!

This is why we do what we do.  To bring a lifestyle to people,a place to relax, and a place to remember others.

Life doesn’t get any better than this!
