Aquatic Artists designed and built this award-winning natural water feature into a hill in Churchville, MD. We crafted a large pool grotto that is 7’ high with multiple natural stone waterfalls that cascade into this gunite pool. One of the waterfalls splits into two streams and one of the streams cascades over the pool grotto. We built the other stream of this waterfall to cascade into the spa and designed it so the spa is a waterfall that cascades into the pool. We also installed an ultimate custom pool slide manufactured by Dolphin into this water feature and built natural stone steps that lead up to the slide. In addition, another waterfall on the other side of the pool slide has a stream that also cascades into the pool. Lastly, we placed veneer stone around the face of the spa and installed planting beds throughout this water feature to tie the natural look all together.

Aquatic Artists designed and built this award-winning formal water feature in Millstone, NJ. Crafted to resemble a Miami South Beach look, this large formal grotto is topped off with an 11’ x 6’ custom fabricated piece of blue stone that creates a perfect sheet of water cascading over the grotto into this vinyl pool. This water feature also has two formal planting beds with sheer descent waterfalls on either side of the grotto. Lastly, we capped this water feature with natural stone coping and placed veneer stone on the face of the water feature as well as the inside of the grotto.

Aquatic Artists crafted the ultimate grotto cave in Moorestown, NJ. We created a large waterfall grotto that is 6.5′ high and cascades into the gunite pool. We also built a side entrance to this grotto cave that has a waterfall cascading over it. We designed the inside of the cave to have a portion wet near the front opening and dry towards the rear. Also, we installed cedar wood logs into the ceiling inside the cave to enhance its natural look.
