Rock Garden with Pond
This is the ultimate rock garden and pond, and let me tell you why. I don’t think this is a naturally occurring pond, but they have gone to great lengths to make it look like it is. The fact that I do not feel sure says a lot about the skill of this landscape designer. [...]
Little Waterfall in Garden
Earlier I wrote about how it is nice to see natural creeks and such on properties, but that a manmade one can work well too. IN this design we have exactly what I have been talking about. Not all artificial creeks and waterfalls are made equal, and this fantastic design shows why. The rock work [...]
Lovely Brook
This natural brook flowing through this property is fantastic, especially after having looked at so many yards that feature artificially created brooks and waterfalls. Now, I am not saying that those are not nice, but rather it is really nice when you can construct your landscape design around natural brooks and little waterfalls. You are [...]
Little Bridge
I love this backyard landscape because what it does it use some elements that I love seeing in yard designs. We will start with the bridge and work our way around the design. The bridge is small and lovely, and its deep green adds a lot to the aesthetic. The little creek running under it [...]

Even with the fountain as the centerpiece I do not feel like [...]
Lovely Little Waterfall
I love this waterfall because its adds so much to the walkway. One of the things to think about when you are designing a walkway toy our front door is what kind of aesthetic you want visitors to experience when they come to the front door. I have long been a fan of fountains and [...]
Lakeview with Trees
This is the second landscape design I have looked at today that features a wonderful view. Whereas the previous one was of a beach and the ocean, this one has a great view of the trees and a lake. One of the things that are so nice about properties such as this one is that [...]
Fantastic Courtyard
This is a perfect courtyard that is actually quite simple in its construction and detail, but ends up being a gorgeous backyard landscaping space. The reason is that all you have to do to make an expensive looking yard is to have a few elements that are done perfectly. The porch is paved with a [...]
Classic Fountain
This is a fantastic fountain, and it is amazing how much it adds to this yard. One of the things I talk about a lot in yard and home design is that you can often have one element that serves as the compass of the yard. In other words, there is often one element that [...]
