Lake Geneva Wisconsin

For this renovation of an historic hillside landscape, ACS and water garden designer Anthony Archer-Wills created a series of ponds, waterfalls and streams following the natural flow of the site. Photos show the 175’ x 150’ reflective pond; two smaller ponds flow from waterfalls built at the top of the hill, near the estate’s entrance. A small grotto behind one of the waterfalls was built for children; the estate owner then requested an adult-size grotto for entertaining. Situated behind the tall waterfall, the 22’ L x 12’ W x 9’ H grotto was created with limestone sitting ledges, stalactites and stalagmites complete with electricity and natural light sources.
