Snake River Landing
Connecting with the River
Idaho Falls, Idaho
Center piece to the award winning Snake River Landing, a mixed-use development, this mile long stream with 4 acres of ponds is the focus of walking paths and recreational green space for the community. Land Expressions was contracted by Ball Ventures, a real estate investment firm, to install the extensive cascading water feature. One thousand tons of native basalt was used to create weirs and pools down the river-like bed. A vertical turbine pump, manufactured by SyncroFlo, dispenses 4,300 gallons per minute and provides water to three discharge points. Incredibly, the project was completed in just one construction season.
“Our relationship with Land Expressions on the Snake River Landing Project in Idaho Falls was outstanding and their work exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail, knowledgeable staff and innovative problem solving has gained my confidence in their specialty field of water feature construction. The value, quality and their attention to detail are unequalled.”
