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.
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.
Whatever it is, Living Waters Landscaping can help bring your yard to life!

Asheville Landscaping: Water Feature Fun!
I love building ponds and waterfalls. I enjoy every part of creating water features from design to finish.
Today I wanted to post about adding fun design features to water features. There are many ways to make your pond, stream or waterfall beautiful & functional.
A few things I like to put into water features are:
 |

| ‘Old World’ Stone Bridge over Stream |
Bridges, statuary, aquatic lighting, decks and sometimes some wood, like a dry log you might have found in the mountains around Asheville.
A bridge is always a great water feature if it works in layout for your yard or garden. We have used stone, wood and metal to breach a gurgling stream or tranquil pond.
Another great landscaping water feature is a statue that is placed correctly. This is a simple way to add a lot character to your landscape.
Remember to try and carry a theme when you are choosing a statue. In the picture below, we chose a small stone Pagoda to accent the waterfall. This was in keeping with the Japanese garden we were creating.

| Hillside Pond with ‘Wine Deck’ |
Another fun landscaping idea to add to your water feature is a deck. It gives a great place for relaxing by a waterfall or watching the fish frolic in the pond. I like the look and feel of adding different elements to the garden. Mixing wood, stone, water, and earth together make a feature or garden that is both functional and artistic.
Don’t forget the aquatic and landscape lighting when planning your water feature. Aquatic lighting is always one of my favorite parts of the job. I like to get creative and put lights in little nooks and under little streams in the falls. LED lights work great for pond and waterfall lighting because they are more energy efficient and they last much longer than halogen bulbs.
More fun landscaping water features ideas soon to come!!
