The Mosier residence sat in the upper 3rd of an extremely steep hill country site that sloped from the street down to Lake Travis 200 feet below.

I created an artificial spring up at street level, which feeds a waterway with numerous ponds and waterfalls, and meanders along boulder terracing and freeform retainer walls. This little mountain stream eventually runs under the house's entry stairs and deck to feed a large fishpond by the front door.  I worked closely with James David of The Gardens on the front portion of this project.

Below the rear of the house, I created a switchback trail system through the trees so the family could access the lake below.  These trails lead down to a final set of stone steps which hug the face of a cliff rising from the water.
