For this 4th A-O Pro Tip, Heath Webb, owner of Art of the Yard, shows us alternative ways to lift rocks. This week&#8217;s tip for our Learn From The A-O Pro&#8217;s series is a quick and helpful way to use your resources when you&#8217;re not able to get machinery into the space you&#8217;re building your water feature in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tip comes from the build in the Sandbox at Atlantic-OASE\u2019s headquarters in Aurora, Ohio. Contractors from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.customwaterfeaturesdenver.com\">Art of the Yard<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/alpinehardscapes.com\/\">Alpine Custom Hardscapes<\/a>&nbsp;and Demi Fortuna, from his own company,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AugustMoonDesigns\">August Moon Designs<\/a>, came to Ohio to dig in the dirt to kick off the start of this new series. After the 5-day building palooza, they created 3 incredible water features including a pond and waterfall feature with a custom copper bowl fire feature, a pond-free waterfall and a formal fountain hardscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-o-tip-4-alternative-ways-to-lift-rocks-with-art-of-the-yard\">A-O Tip #4 &#8211; Alternative Ways to Lift Rocks with Art of the Yard<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this 4th A-O Pro Tip, Heath Webb shows us how his team at Art of the Yard moves heavy rocks and boulders when their space isn&#8217;t big enough to bring their machinery in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the A-O Pro Tip here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"790\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b3lmPhLwiWk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Heath explains how his team uses underlayment to carry all the heavy rocks to their waterfall when powered equipment is not available. They slide the rocks onto a piece of underlayment and utilize 3 to 4 team members to help carry the rocks into place. The underlayment acts as a sling to help lift and move the boulders without straining or injuring the team members&#8217; backs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great tool Art of the Yard utilizes during this build is a rock dolly to move rocks and boulders long distances. But, if you don&#8217;t have access to a rock dolly, the underlayment tip is an easy way to get around it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"want-to-be-featured-in-the-next-a-o-pro-tip-video\">Want to be featured in the next A-O Pro Tip Video?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have some unique and help tips and tricks on installing water features?
