Backyard Waterfall

Beautiful Backyard Waterfall

Your home is your safe place, your retreat from work and everyday life.

What if your yard was a paradise that you longed to go to. A vacation at home!

We all work hard every day, and at times we need a place of rest. A vacation is a great idea, but after a week or so, your vacation is over. Back to the same old grind.

What if when you got home from work, you take off your shoes and head to the backyard, and the paradise you are looking for is right there!?

Pondless Waterfall

Imagine coming home to a beautiful, naturalistic waterfall in your own backyard!

I mean vacations are great, but having the feeling of an escape to paradise in your own yard is priceless.

With the options of a pond, a pool, a waterfall or a stone fire pit. You could easily get lost in your own backyard!!

Custom Water Features

It may sound silly, and landscaping isn’t cheap. But the daily enjoyment of a custom water feature or a natural swimming pond with a stone fire pit and patio by its side will bring years of joy and peace to a family. Not just one week in the Caribbean. 😂

That’s not even to mention the upgrade on your property value.

Quality landscaping and hardscaping, including water features, can appraise at 10% – 15% more then a similar house with a basic landscape.

Entryway Landscape

Regardless of the Real Estate pricing, having your own backyard paradise is definitely worth it.

The options are endless, and the possibilities are only up to your imagination.

Stone Fire Pit and Bench

Weather it includes a flagstone patio, water feature, fire pit or some beautiful plantings. Your yard can be transformed into a space worth visiting!

Front yard Paradise

Whatever paradise you choose, we can help you design a backyard vacation of any type!

Give us a call and take your next vacation at home!

New Koi Pond and Waterfall

Waterfall and Aquatic Plants

Here’s a sneak peek at the waterfall and koi pond we are working on in Hendersonville, Nc.

This pond and waterfall system has many different features to make it very unique.

We added some floating stone steps across the pond, an airlift filter grid in the bottom of the pond and a large wetland filter at the top of the falls.

Pond and waterfall

It’s going to be pretty awesome when we’re all done. We still need to finish some of the edging, landscaping, patio and lighting.

Check back soon for more updates!

Building a Pond, Part one

living waters landscaping

This month we have been working on building a decorative garden pond in Hendersonville, Nc.

Garden Koi Pond

This project is currently under construction. Please check back later for finished project photos.

This pond will be appropriately 15×22 ft wide and 4 ft deep. We added some special features to this system. Including: an intake bay filter, a wetland filter and an airlift bottom filter.

With all these filters combined, along with aeration and circulation jets, the pond will be crystal clear and have very little maintenance to keep it that way.

Boulder pond

We started off by excavating the pond area and lining it with a 45 mil EPDM rubber liner. Then we set boulders along the pond wall, leaving planting pockets for aquatic plants that will help keep the water clear and healthy.

We added some large boulders into the pond to create a truly unique and impressive feature.

We also added a fun feature to this pond. Floating Steps! They are actually not ‘floating’ but will look like it when the pond is full. We set flagstone steppingstones on top of concrete pillars to create this awesome feature.

Pillars for floating steps
Floating steps

As this pond developed, we decided to add some aquatic lighting into the pond so our client could enjoy the fish at night.

One of the unique filtration options we installed into this pond was the airlift filter grid at the bottom of the pond. The airlift is created using a grid of perforated pipes under gravel laid into the bottom of the pond. When the system is on, the aerator will pump water into a vertical pipe connected to the grid and create a vacuum. This will draw water through the grid and discharge it to the top of the pond. Making the whole floor of the pond a big biological filter.

Airlift Filter

As we are still working on this system, please check back soon for some finished project photos and videos.
