More about our Bespoke Corten waterfall feature with side planters Project

Stamford-based garden designer Rachael Mary from Rachael Mary Designs commissioned us to make a stunning bespoke Corten waterfall feature with side planters for her client.

The brief was to complement the vertical lines running throughout the garden, so the tall waterfall was attached to two side planters creating this original bespoke piece.

We visited the site in person to take accurate and specific measurements. From this we provided 3D visualisations of the piece, so the client and Rachael were kept in the loop throughout its design and creation.

“Working with Arthur Francis sculpture is a total joy. They make both the creative and delivery process easy and hassle-free. With a can-do attitude, clear vision and great communication, my garden design was made a reality and our client very happy. Arthur Francis is always going the extra mile to delight the customer by adding personalisation. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with them.”

Bespoke Corten steel sculptures

Based on your brief we can create bespoke stylish metal sculptures to suit any style or location, or we can develop your ideas into a finished work of art.

Our in-house designers will conceptualise your design via detailed CAD drawings before we start. Our experienced craftsmen will then create and finish the project in our rural workshops.

We craft all our pieces to a high specification using a variety of techniques – both traditional and modern – as well as the latest plasma-cutting technologies.

Why Corten steel?

Corten steel signs offer an industrial, rustic-style effect and pop against any backdrop.

Cor-Ten is a brand name for steel alloys which were developed to be weather-proof, even without paint. It’ss also referred to as ‘weathering steel’, ‘rusty steel’ and ‘Corten’.

The material organically adapts to its environment, producing a vibrant orange patina. This not only protects the steel but creates a stunning finish.

Weathered steel is suitably stable. Rather than rusting entirely, the surface transforms over time in a consistent way that prevents further corrosion. The way it weathers will be as unique and attractive as your design.
