Timberstone Group Services

There is nothing quite like coming home from a long day's work and relaxing to the sights and sounds of a naturalistic waterfall. Illuminate your water feature with underwater lighting so that you can catch glimpses of your koi--day and night--as they meander through their fish caves and around boulders. Enjoy the luxury of visiting your own personal oasis any time you wish and allow your stresses to simply float away.

TimberStone designs, builds and maintains water features that include custom-crafted waterfalls, ponds, pondless waterfalls, koi ponds and streams. We take great pride in our waterscape creations by combining artistry with physics and imagination, allowing us to create self-sustaining water features of natural complexity that look like they have been on your property forever.

We create our water features by developing a design using nature's randomness… its interesting shapes and intriguing textures. This approach not only re-creates nature's true character but even allows for tuning the sound of the water to fit the setting.

Our water feature designs utilize both mechanical and biological filtration to maintain clean, clear and healthy water. Rather than using chemicals and sterilizers for a task that nature itself can handle, we employ aquatic plants such as hyacinths, water lettuce and lilies, to name a few. These are the plant world's own water filters. They're not only beautiful, they promote clean, clear water, and they are very low maintenance. Be sure to ask us about our water garden maintenance packages that we offer!

We are big proponents of creating sustainable landscapes and waterscapes, just like they are in nature. We can incorporate a rainwater harvesting system into the water feature's design which will not only replenish any water lost from evaporation, but may also be used for irrigation, washing cars, laundry machines and toilets. *Please visit our Rainwater Harvesting section for more information on how you can help the environment and save money on water usage all while enjoying a beautiful water feature.*

Share with your family, friends, employees and colleagues all of the pleasures that water features have to offer. From creating your own natural eco-system, to enjoying the soothing sounds while unwinding and relaxing in your own personal tranquil destination, we at TimberStone will create a water feature that you will enjoy for years to come. You'll create a lifetime of wonderful memories while enjoying all of the beauty and benefits mother-nature provides us with... right in your own yard or workplace. Paradise is only steps away!

Life is hectic for today's families and the typical day to day familiarity seems to be what makes most families desire to 'just get away'. To escape the bustle, homeowners are requesting a backyard atmosphere that allows friends and family to be 'a world away' while still embracing the comforts of being at home.

Whether you are entertaining a group or simply relaxing by yourself, many of today's outdoor living spaces feature more than one focal point. A beautiful stone or paver terrace can be accented with an intimate fire pit and pergola, framing the extension of your home. An outdoor kitchen, putting green and waterscape can be seamlessly woven into the overall design.

A natural, soothing flow from feature to feature adds incredible value, convenience and aesthetic appeal to your home. A get-away like this has all the elements for a memorable get-together.

Our crews are certified by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) for concrete paver installations.

Similar to freestanding walls and planters that add depth and dimension to your outdoor living space, pergolas help frame that area with a handsome aura. Pergolas are classic garden structures that capture the essence of strength while maintaining a gentle appearance.

We construct the majority of our pergolas using top grade Western Red Cedar lumber. Our pergolas are sculpted and stained, painted or left to age naturally, depending on the architecture of the home and the desires of our client.

Spice up your pergola with climbing vines or columns, giving you shade and a perfect spot to catch a breath of fresh air. A pergola is your 'room without walls', framing a picturesque scene for everyone to enjoy.

Gaze at the stars while you soak in your hot tub or sit around an open fire pit. Dine in elegance with dramatic lighting, enhancing your terrace and pergola. The possibilities are exciting and limitless.

There's just something enticing about a rustic stone fireplace, dry-stacked wall or a flagstone terrace. Every stone is dressed through tedious shaping and fitting techniques and hard, yet immensely gratifying labor.

Incorporating large fieldstone boulders in the landscape to re-create natural stone outcroppings and water features is not only impressive--it's timeless.

Whether the architecture requires solid stone or veneer, dry-stack or jointed, dry-laid or mortared--you will always enjoy the grandeur of natural stone.

Creative combinations of walls, steps, columns and planters can be used to create areas of function, privacy and beauty. Whether using tumbled stone to create an old world look or using geometric shapes to maintain a contemporary style, our creations offer durability and flexibility to any design.

Our crews are certified by the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) for the installation of engineered or standard segmental retaining walls.

The exterior of your home is undoubtedly the most important area to make a first impression. Set the stage for your home's curb appeal with a professionally designed and installed concrete paver drive and entry. A medallion inlay option is an impressive design feature that truly customizes your entrance.

A driveway that compliments the look of your home and your style is sure to turn a few heads in the neighborhood. A wide color palette of concrete pavers provides a welcoming entry to your property. As soon as you hit the pavers, you start relaxing because you know you're home.

Sometimes the simple things in life can make an incredible difference. Superior landscape design and installation is an investment in your property that will grow and increase in value each year.

TimberStone hand picks each plant to be used in our projects. This ensures that we have total control over our project and what we provide our clients. We follow all Standardized Landscape Specifications for the Commonwealth of Virginia, prepared by the Virginia Society of Landscape Designers (VSLD). Our plant material is acquired from high quality growers and nurseries throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

We also offer fine grading, drainage correction, turf installation and landscape maintenance packages to finish out a project.

Highlighting a home's architectural strengths is an essential finishing touch in landscape design. Low voltage lighting systems are a wonderful feature for accenting driveways, walkways, plantings, and water features.

Lighting systems fit into any of our features, portraying a dramatic setting while providing additional security and safety around the home. Pergolas and summerhouses come alive, while water features glisten in a romantic tranquility. Lighting is an art in itself and can complement a landscape with astonishing effects.

Save your landscape investment during drought season--Collect the rainwater from your roof!

Just 1" of rainfall on a typical 2,000 square foot roof can collect over 1,200 gallons of water. Central Virginia receives an average annual rainfall of over 45 inches. That equates to over 54,000 gallons of free water each year!

Rainwater from your roof is captured and filtered from your downspouts into underground piping….leading into a water garden or pondless waterfall system of any size. The storage capacity is hidden underground. By incorporating the rainwater harvesting into a water feature, the water will be filtered both biologically and mechanically and will be constantly moving--eliminating stagnant water and unsightly barrels or cisterns.

With a flip of a switch, the stored water can be pumped to your irrigation system or to a garden hose or sprinkler for manual watering on demand.

Pull your property off the grid when watering bans are in effect during drought season, ensuring your mature garden or landscape will remain alive and healthy from the nutrient-rich rainwater that you have already stored.

Our RainWater Harvesting Systems are custom designed for each individual property--incorporating naturalistic water features, drip irrigation and drought tolerant landscaping--a complete package that is environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing while requiring minimal maintenance.

Please give us a call for more information on how you can collect your rainwater and help the environment. You may also visit www.rainxchange.com or www.rainwatermanagement.com.
