Mission Statement

On February 4th 1994, Forrest Stumps & Aqueous Endeavors [my original waterfall/landscape company with the long name] was born to share the beauty and serenity of flowing water. From that moment on, water became the business and I was the ambassador.

Playing in the woods again was my inspiration as I was able to meander through the forest and harvest native flora to reintroduce in landscapes. Reminiscing about when life was simple...my brother and l wondering "why grown ups didn't do this all the time?" l knew then that my  life had changed, I needed to be in the woods!!! Re-creating a sanctuary for birds to splash, kids to play, and "grown ups" could relax, was unforeseen and the ultimate reward.

A lot happened between 25 and 52, I got a chance to go commercial crab fishing a few years ago and realized my passion was working with water, not on water. Jump ahead to 2022, we ALL needed a sanctuary and serenity, and not many can create that sanctuary with the natural details I've learned over these many years. 

Beginning my journey into waterfall creations in 1994 has taken its toll on my body, so the days of moving boulders are left to the younger of my crew. On site construction is streamlined, my knees love it, but it also affords me the time to focus on the details and that "water runs down hill just about everywhere, the trick is to make it dance!"

Simple Streams is a compilation of my love of the woods, thousands of hours of 'research', and my passion to share what I felt that sunny day in  February of 1994...

I would love to bring the natural peace of flowing water into your life.
