About Max Phelps, Rock Castles Landscaping

Website: http://www.rockcastles.net

Max Phelps built his first waterfall in 1997. While he has experience farming and beekeeping and ran a tax preparation business for 20-plus years, he has operated Rock Castles Landscaping since the fall of 1999. The company designs, builds and specializes in waterfalls and water gardens. Edible landscaping, gardening and farming are part of the culture in rural South Central Kentucky, the place Max calls home most of the time. Max has been both an Aquascape CAC and a member of the IPPCA. He was also the first-place winner of the “Most Natural Looking Stream and Waterfalls” category at INFOTANZA 2010, and he is the author of the twice-monthly landscape column “Yards to Paradise,” in its fifteenth season.
