In an era when efficiency and convenience, high-volume and over-productivity are favored above artistry, excellence, and proficiency, it is a true delight when one comes across someone who chooses to devote himself to his skill and his craft. Ralph is that someone.During our backyard pondless waterfall build, which was quite a substantial undertaking with approximately 25 linear feet of stream and five waterfall drops, Ralph demonstrated his unique craftsmanship in designing and constructing this feature. He was routinely evaluating and re-evaluating each boulder lay, cross-checking his measurements and levels, and making adjustments where needed, as opposed to settling for 'good enough'. One would think he was designing this for his own backyard!Ralph's crewmen, Collin and Barrett, were also clear assets to the project and operated with such competence and aptitude. The team worked tirelessly under interesting weather conditions - hot days, rainy days, windy days, and muddy grounds. They cleaned and tidied-up the job site each afternoon before leaving for the day, and were always on time, friendly, and professional.Our family found it a genuine joy to witness Ralph and his crew make this project come to life. Our three young children have played on and around the waterfall each day since it's completion, and as such, it has become a treasure in our home. It brings a smile to my face to watch them romp and giggle while playing in the water. I trust their childhood memories will be filled with the sights and sounds that these waters bring. So, Ralph, with most sincere hearts, we say, Thank You.
