We bring the magic of design to your water feature

Dams have to be functional. But they can also look extraordinary

Dam design

30 years is a long time

You’re going to be looking at your water feature for the next 30 years

And that water feature should bring a smile to your face every time you look at it.

A bog standard round dam is not going to achieve that, so we only take on work where the client wants to create something extraordinary.

We have a very strong competitor – ourselves. Because we compete with our ourselves and our ability to create magic on every project

Gucci

Beauty

Aldo Gucci famously said “Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten”. It’s the same for beauty

Beauty is different things to different people. To us, a permaculture dam that is full of life, colour and goodness is the best beauty money can buy. Because it makes you feel good about your life

Who are we

We’re Different

We’re not earthmovers. We’re not even dam builders

We’re artists who use massive heavy machinery as our paint brushes, and we create world class land sculptures as homes for water

And our canvases are sometimes acres in size

We’re quite unique

What we do

The Pieces

We put all those dam pieces together.

We were very good at jigsaws growing up

Construction is the last piece. Site inspection & assessment is the first piece. The piece in the middle is design – and that’s the most important piece.

Because that’s your canvas that you’re going to look at every day
