Dry Creek Installtion

Our Water Feature Services

TCT Landscaping specializes in creating sophisticated dry creek beds that combine functionality with natural aesthetics. Our designs transform problematic drainage areas into stunning landscape features that effectively manage water flow while enhancing your property's visual appeal. Using carefully selected stone materials and strategic grading, we craft dry creeks that mirror natural waterways, complete with meandering curves, varied rock sizes, and thoughtful plant placement.

Each dry creek installation begins with a thorough site analysis to understand your property's specific drainage patterns and soil conditions. Our expert team then develops a customized design that addresses these practical needs while creating an authentic-looking dry creek that appears to have naturally evolved in your landscape. We incorporate multiple layers of materials, from large anchor boulders to smooth river rocks and fine gravel, creating depth and visual interest that changes with the seasonal play of light and shadow.
