DETAIL!

This water trough was such a fun project and is indicative to a lot of our custom work. The property here had some incoming noise from an adjacent highway. Yes, the Highway was in the mountains so it was not too loud, but enough to disturb the peace and quiet. A water trough with a small fall did the trick to provide some close ambient sound and also created a great visual.  What worked here was the soft warm grey of the concrete with the sage green of the willow and soft purple of the veronicastrum.  It was unexpected how much calm the plantings provide visually. The owner added a little tableau of succulents to complete the picture. Again, unexpected but it works so well.
