What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Debra Prinzing to Reflecting Pools as Liquid Assets

Water is well integrated in this entry garden. It serves as an important design element that connects the home's architecture with its landscape. Having the footings of the wood-wrapped posts installed in the shallow pool magnifies the illusion that the home is emerging from water.

added by Frank Organ to 8 Modern-Day Moats That Float Our Boats

Not all modern moats are used for the practical purposes of providing security and suitable access; many are designed just for aesthetic effect.Large sheets of still water, sometimes artificially darkened with dye or having dark construction materials, beautifully reflect the building and the landscape that surrounds it, blending the two together.
