Plant beds, flagstone paths, patios and retaining stone that tie a water feature into the rest of the yard.
A pond looks its best when the surroundings are planned with it. Stone paths lead to it, plant beds soften its edges and a seat nearby gives you a reason to stop. Without that context, even a well-built pond can look like a hole in the lawn.
We design and install landscaping around ponds, streams and fountains. That includes perennials, grasses, shrubs and ferns, flagstone paths and patios, retaining walls, mulch and edging. We choose plants that suit the moisture and light at each spot and that look good across the seasons.
Sun-loving plants line the sunny edge and ferns and hostas fill shade. Grasses sway beside the water. We choose plants that handle splash and occasional wet feet without turning weedy.
A flagstone path, a patio at the water edge and low retaining walls make the pond part of daily life. We match stone colors to your house and the pond rock.
A good water garden has something to see in every month. Evergreens, winter grasses and early bulbs keep it interesting when the lilies are asleep.
Plants fill in over a few seasons. We space them for the mature size so beds look full without crowding the water.
