Oakland Township Project
This is a five-acre site on a golf course in Oakland Township. The total development of this parcel included a brick and stone drive, walks, pool, deck, and large-scale plantings. Our client wanted a pond and waterfall at the entrance to his home where along with his wife and grandchildren, he could stroll, sit, and enjoy the outdoors.
Because of the size of the site a dynamic feature was installed. As you enter the estate the first thing you see is the waterfall, which is fed by a man-made pond, created by Great Oaks. It is over 12’ high and 120’ in length. At full tilt, over 6000 gallons of water per minute flow over the lip with no visible water source. A 10’x10’ underground vault holds the plumbing, pumps, and mechanics to operate the three zones that can operate simultaneously, or separately depending on the wishes of the client. Roaring waters or a gentle cascading flow that the children can play in is easily controlled by the flick of a switch.
