This waterfall serves not only as the focal point of this tropical water garden... It's also the "lungs" for the survival of the Japanese Koi in the pond below it... The troughs hold built-in mechanical filters & bio-filters, which aid in keeping the water crystal clear & free of harmful chemicals. River Rock and Shale Stone were used in building the coping around the entire pond perimeter, as well as the cascade.
A job in progress! Notice the swim-out, coping, tile edge ( free-form stone line below the typical "tile line") and how the stone on the jacuzzi is carried to the "floor" of this pool. A mix of Native Coral, California Gold Dust, Cap Coral and Shale stones were used, randomly adding clusters of huge coral formations around the pool's edges for a more dramatic effect.
This close-up shows how the mixing of various types of stones, horizontally clustering chip stones & the overall design, create a natural look when the stone "tile line" and the "pool coping" are also finished by using the same stone ttreatment.
