Come browse photos and commentary on my fifteen year career building water features for homes and commercial projects. From ultimately practical considerations of construction to more finely nuanced issues of how to create great environments—both those involving rock and water, those involving the entire site,and those including human relationships—I have tried to convey the best of what I have learned through this wonderful career.

Please enjoy the website and take what you need to enhance your own water feature designs.

Why Lawnchair Watershapes? The name came about through the realization that most projects start by sitting in lawn chairs, having coffee, and conversing with the clients about their wishes for adding a water feature.  Pull up a chair!
