A must own for everybody in our industry! The R.I.S.E. Method by Rick Bartel takes you from the basic start of any water feature(Design Concepts chapter 2) to the often overlooked part of a completed water feature(Sound chapter 15.) As I read through The R.I.S.E. Method I came to the conclusion that this is not a “book” per-say but a brilliant reference manual with ideas that seem blatantly obvious, so obvious that they are all too often overlooked by the most professional contractor. The R.I.S.E. Method is a reference manual that should be in the hands of the beginner to the most seasoned veteran.
