  The embrace of water, stone, clover and forest. Part of your pond confined by a granite retaining wall.   The minerals in the glacial clay bottom exude bluish green balm. More pond photos below. 

 

We sculptured the forests in Stratton, Vermont to create this unique home site for your country retreat. 

Your view of the "Manicknung" (Stratton Mountain) has been cut.  Your meadow is planted.  Your handcrafted pond, walking woods and brook in the valley are waiting for you. 

Our work was thoughtfully planned and took years to execute.
