Rolling Stones: A Hilltop Garden Overlooking Puget Sound

Stonework Enhances a Spectacular View

Designed and built by Hendrikus Schraven, this Bow, Washington garden overlooks Puget Sound. Jurors praised its superb stonework—over 330 tons of rock craned up a 75-foot cliff to form a waterfall, pond, and curved rock wall. A rock firepit adds warmth. Because the soil was rocky, 225 yards of topsoil were brought in before planting. Ferns, grasses, irises, and groundcovers grow in crevices and tumble over rocks.
