Spring is almost here!!

Spring time is just around the corner!

It’s time to start thinking about that new landscape project or backyard oasis you’ve been wanting to create in your backyard.

Pondless waterfall Asheville, Nc

Here in Asheville, Nc, Spring is the best time to landscape your yard. It’s also a great time to get your existing pond or water feature cleaned out and ready to go for the season. If you have a koi pond, March and early April is the best time to have your pond cleaned out. The fish are waking up from their winter rest and the bio activity in the pond is starting to thrive.

We can help you professionally clean your pond while keeping your fish safe.

Spring time in Asheville is also the perfect time for some fresh mulch around the yard, or maybe a new flagstone patio and fire pit so you can enjoy the summer outside with your family.

New Flagstone Patio

Flagstone Patio

We just finished this custom dry laid flagstone patio in Weaverville, NC

This patio includes an inlay pattern in the center. While the rest of the patio is a random pattern, the central inlay draws your eye and invites you in.

The special part about this patio project was the custom wood bench.

My carpenter custom made this glue-lam curved bench from trees on his property.

The bench was then cut into two 1000 pound boulders. Creating a beautiful and functional feature.

In addition to the stone and wood in the design of this feature, we installed a landscape lighting system so that it can be enjoyed at night.

This was a fun feature to build and we hope to build more features like this in the future.

Give us a call if you would like something like this in your yard!

Koi pond and waterfall

We just finished this really fun project in Burnsville, NC. Our clients had an existing Koi pond that was failing. It was an old wooden structure the retained the pond.

We talked about options to fix the feature and deck that a rebuilt was needed. So we made plans to create a new outdoor space around the pond. The finished design incorporated a new dedicated Koi pond, a Pondless waterfall, stone stairs and a dry laid flagstone patio.

Koi pond and patio

The pond ended up being 10×15 ft by 6 ft deep. We installed a rotating drum filter with a moving bed biological filtration system. This filter is top of the line and automatically cleans itself!

Below the pond we installed a Pondless waterfall with a Filtrific filter. We installed this waterfall seem as it flows out of the pond, but it’s a separate system.

Pondless Waterfall

We also installed a stone slab stairway that wrapped around the pond and leads you down to the lower waterfall.

Pondless Waterfalls

There is a stone bridge over the falls that makes a great feature.

It was an amazing project to be a part of. And I’m very thankful to be able to work with such awesome clients!

Dry Laid Flagstone Patio

Flagstone patio

We just finished a dry laid flagstone patio in Asheville, nc.

Dry laid stone work is done without the use of concrete or mortar.

The strength of the patio relies on a well drained base of gravel and tightly cut large pieces of stone.

Custom cut patio stone

Each piece of stone is hand cut to fit tightly and to create a structural and attractive pattern.

We also installed a bench wall at the edge of the patio. This wall supports the lower edge of the patio and adds a place to relax and enjoy the backyard.

Dry laid stone work will last for decades if installed correctly.

Flagstone Patio Asheville

Here’s a quick video of a mortared flagstone patio we just finished in Asheville.

We used Buff Crab Orchard stone for this project. There was an existing dry laid patio in this space that we replaced and reused some of the stone.

Our goal was to match the existing flagstone entryway and covered porch.
