A fountain at the center of terraced walls. A stream-fed koi garden. Water is the hardest thing we build — it has to stay exactly where it should, and nowhere else.
Real projects, photographed on site — every one hand-set by Edgar’s crew.
Where it falls, where it collects and how it’s reached for service — drawn before any stone is ordered.
Basins built on reinforced footings and sealed; ponds and streams lined, with the liner protected under stone.
Pumps, filtration, lighting and electrical are installed by licensed specialists — we build the stone around them.
Coping, boulders and flagstone placed by hand so the edges read natural and the water reads deliberate.
Filled, tested and tuned until the water sounds the way it should.

No — licensed specialists do. We build the stone, the basin and the chases they need, and coordinate the schedule.
Yes, with its own footing and a basin designed for it. Our sample Potomac Estate drawing set shows one.
Less when it’s built right: proper depth, filtration sized to the pond and stone edges that don’t shed soil into the water.
Often. We find where it’s losing water, rebuild that section on a sound base and re-set the coping.
