Emil Kreye & Son was delighted to be asked by the Garden Conservancy to undertake the pond restoration and creation of a rock garden and waterfall for this national treasure. The restoration of the pond included total excavation of the area, followed by construction of a 30′ long dam with a spillway. Bottom intake and sediment tanks were installed for circulation. In addition to the pond restoration, Emil Kreye & Son also designed and built an 8’ high rock ridge and a waterfall flowing into the newly renovated pond.
