What does it involve?

Installing a dry creek bed involves several key steps to ensure it looks natural and functions effectively. Here’s how we approach the installation:

• Consultation and Planning: We start by discussing your vision for the dry creek bed and assessing the areas of your landscape that could benefit from this feature. This includes identifying areas prone to water pooling or erosion. Together, we’ll decide on the best placement, shape, and design for the dry creek bed.
• Design: Our team designs a dry creek bed that complements your landscape while addressing any drainage issues. This involves selecting the right mix of rocks, stones, and gravel to create a natural look. We also plan for any additional elements, such as plantings or boulders, to enhance the creek bed’s appearance.
• Site Preparation: We prepare the site by marking the layout of the dry creek bed and removing any existing vegetation or obstacles. The ground is then shaped to mimic the natural contours of a streambed, ensuring it effectively directs water flow.
• Installation: We install the dry creek bed by laying down a base layer of landscape fabric to prevent weed growth, followed by placing rocks, stones, and gravel in a way that simulates the natural flow of water. Larger rocks and boulders may be added to create visual interest and further control water movement.
• Finalization: Once the creek bed is in place, we may add plants, mulch, or other decorative elements to integrate the feature into your landscape seamlessly. We also test the dry creek bed to ensure it effectively manages water runoff during rain.
