Descend

Located on the Fox River in Illinois, this unique water feature pumps water vertically from the river nearly 30 feet before sending it cascading over the waterfalls back into the water from which it came. The waterscape made use of an otherwise useless riverfront property – prior to the waterfall and decking, the slope was too steep to navigate, and thus unusable.

By utilizing aeration, circulation and nutrient removal via aquatic plants, a waterfall landscape was created that actually returns the water to the river cleaner than it was removed. The four levels of decking offer multiple unique and dramatic views of the falls and river. Visitors can traverse across the waterfalls via raised stone pathways, or step off the pathway into the falls to cool off on a hot summer day.

Subsequently, the property has become a popular destination for many boaters on the river. By creating a local landmark attraction on otherwise unusable land, the water feature has increased the value of the property significantly.

"While undertaking to create a significant water feature consisting of a large waterfall and surrounding gardens I was introduced to the Kane Brothers. It was the best thing that could have happened to my project! Their input on design and construction was invaluable and produced a spectacular result. Frank and Chris are not only dedicated to, but passionate about, their projects, as are all those they bring to the jobsite. The entire team is knowledgeable, organized and well trained. As a result of my experience, we continue to have a relationship that I consider not only professional, but also personal and permanent. I can, and have, recommended them without reservation many times."
