Working with native Sonoma fieldstone, our sculptures are visually stunning works of art that also function as ecological support systems. We design each piece to meet the needs of the surrounding landscape—including mitigating erosion, slowing + sinking water, and capturing sedimentation—while supporting the existing native habitat. These sculptures are ideal for restoring riparian areas and residential hillsides, and they can also complement existing restoration projects and wildfire reduction efforts.
Sculptural Erosion Prevention
How sculptures rebuild habitats
Our techniques combine erosion prevention practices, dry-laid stone stacking, regenerative planting, and water sequestration procedures. We also use berms, onsite materials such as logs + sticks, or straw wattles, depending on the needs of the project. In the beginning, the sculpture stands out as a piece of art that enhances the landscape; but over time, the art settles and buries, becoming the “bones” of the living habitat that grows over it.
Restoring the land + our connection to it
Preventing erosion with artistic sculptures highlights the beauty of, and need for landscape restoration, while also:
Addressing common habitat issues caused by overgrazing, losing native plants, and earth slides
Softening the transition between implementing restoration procedures and habitat maturity
Igniting our imaginations to ritualize and appreciate the efforts of regeneration
