Mountain Lakeside Chalet

Grand Lake, Colorado

This mountain home on the shores of Colorado’s majestic Shadow Mountain Lake presented Waterscapes Inc. with the challenge of replacing an ugly cobblestone and railroad-tie existing landscape with a more natural and indigenous mountain waterscape environment. To achieve this, our designer spent several hours studying the intricate peculiarities of streams and cascades in the surrounding Rocky Mountain National Park…well somebody’s got to do it.

Conquering the precarious 40% slope and the access challenges caused by the close proximity of the lake, Waterscapes Inc. constructed an award-winning, multi-pool cascading waterfall that has been featured in several national magazines including Sunset, Colorado Homes and Lifestyles, and Lux. This water feature was also the grand prize winner for the Associate Landscape Contractors of Colorado Environmental Award.
