WATER - Traditional

What at first seemed like an impossibility turned into a reality when the owner of this Menomonee Falls residence consulted with a high-end builder who specializes in challenging projects.  The landscape architect/contractor, who collaborates with the builder, crafted a design that would satisfy all the homeowner’s wants and needs while addressing the difficult nature of the site. The specific requests included:

• A pool with a Sun Shelf and Waterfall Wall
• Custom Hot Tub
• Pool house with bathroom and bar
• Pergola with Rain Curtain
• Fireplace & Fire Bowls
• Water feature

Normally it is not especially difficult to incorporate all these elements into a design. In this case, however, it was extremely challenging due to the incredibly steep grades in the backyard.  Nevertheless, the landscape architect skillfully designed a two-level outdoor space that takes advantage of the grade change. Installation of the miles of pipes, wire, etc. was a daunting task as well.  Attentive layout of sleeves in and across the hardscapes was paramount to avoid delays and costly errors. The result was exactly what the client wanted – a beautiful new backyard retreat for their family to enjoy for many years to come.
