About us

   Award Winning Water Feature Designer Michael Hall and Biologist Chris McGowan have teamed up to bring you the most beautiful and ecologically sound water features created today.
Michael Hall
     From the time he was little Michael Hall was introduced to the natural world through his uncle Dennis Hall. Dennis was the curator at the Staten Island Zoo until his retirement. Michael had also bred and sold aquarium fish and invertebrates for years until his mid 20's. Moving to a new location in his 20's Michael switched his focus to snakes, tarantulas and scorpions due to space restrictions. During this time period he also focused on studying soil biology, organic farming and Permaculture.
