A
Water Feature is
an attraction
in any landscape
|
 Large
or small,
formal or informal, the dancing patterns of
light, lush foliage and the relaxing sound of
water gently splashing into a crystal clear pond
is irresistible. Each one is as unique as a
fingerprint yet all of them soothe the soul and
serve as a haven from the stresses of day to day
life. A pond will add both a
dynamic energy and a sense of serenity to any
landscape and it can serve as a destination, a
focal point or an integral part of your backyard
ecosystem.
What makes or breaks any landscape job is
the attention to details, especially when it comes to a pond.
A
fundamental aspect of pond design is something called "plausibility". In other words, does the water feature seem as if it could have occurred
naturally, or does it seem fake or out of place? We build our ponds and waterfalls to seem as if they've been there all along by
using gradual slopes, "occasional" boulders, and informal plantings.
We
also use a variety of boulders, rocks and pebbles to conceal such things as the
rubber liner, plumbing, filters, pumps and other hardware in an effort to make
the pond seem as natural and realistic as possible.

A
well designed
and well built water feature
complements a landscape and doesn't "take
over" and become just an ornament.
Properly done, a water feature should create
the illusion that it's been there all along
This is done by working with what your yard
offers in terms of natural setting and
contour and by using gradual slopes,
"occasional" boulders, and informal
plantings.
Sometimes some additional soil can be brought in to add some
curves or create some relief and the soil removed when
excavating a pond is helpful in this way as well. Placement
of boulders, rocks and pebbles to conceal such things as the
rubber liner, plumbing, filters, pumps and other hardware
help to make the pond seem as natural and realistic as
possible.

Some things
to consider:
A pond is a
dynamic
ecosystem,
and as such
there are
some
maintenance
issues to
consider.
Although
these are
easily
addressed,
they do
require
consistency
in order to
provide a
stable and
predictable
environment
both for the
life that
exists in
the pond as
well as the
people who
enjoy it.
We can show
you how to

years of
carefree
enjoyment
and endless
hours of

provide.
