Today the WCI provides design and consultation services for Landscape Contractors, acts as a Green Industry think tank, and provides training for others in the form of workshops, seminars, and individual consulting. The WCI also provides written material, opinions, case-studies and how-to articles for industry trade magazines.

Hi Rick,
The placement and use of weathered stone vs broken stone on the stream border may be a key to the natural feel of this stream bed.
I appreciate your use of the natural stream constriction and fall of water in the upper left of the photo. You have achieved a natural looking flow of water into a pool.
I enjoy your work and learn a great deal from it.
