What Franklin yards ask of a water feature
Every Norfolk County property reads a little differently: runoff, shade, tree roots, and how much ledge is waiting a foot down. We walk your Franklin yard first, then design the pond, the waterfall drop, and the filtration around what the site actually gives us. Frost depth and spring runoff in Massachusetts drive those decisions more than any catalog does.
