Split waterfalls into Koi pond
This is an example of a large asian landscaping in Baltimore.

After a year of enjoying their water feature, we installed the pool and spa to complete the backyard renovation. The pool was designed to be “organic” with its natural surroundings and to meet the clients’ desire to have a body of water that would be harmonious with the residence’s existing patio, outdoor kitchen area, waterfall, stream and koi pond. www.deckandpatio.com

Our native shadblow tree provides a profusion of white flowers in the spring, while drifts of daffodils carpet the perennial border. The soft yellow and white blooms of fragrant jonquil 'Pipit' are inter planted with pale blue 'Ocean Magic' Muscari. In the mid ground a stand of Delibes daffodil provide a middle layer to the planting. Austin Ganim Landscape Design, LLC

The newly installed front step and landing were subtly accented by a decorative circle kit giving a charming and aesthetically pleasing finish. Made of interlocking paving stones, the design perfectly suited the architecture of their home. www.deckandpatio.com

The pool was also constructed with a moss rock boulder coping which brings the landscape right up to the beam of the pool in a natural setting. Vibration flowers with fragrance that also offer successional color throughout the pool season include a wide variety of perennials, evergreen and deciduous plantings. www.deckandpatio.com

Ecosystem Ponds are the crown jewel of the Water Feature world. They soon become the centerpiece of your landscape. These low-maintenance, natural-looking water gardens work with Mother Nature, not against her, to stay clean and clear without using chemicals or UV sterilizers or anything artificial. The key is the symbiotic relationship between the Pond Fish, the beneficial bacteria, and the Aquatic Plants. There is no sound in nature quite as relaxing as moving, falling water. It soothes away your stress at the end of a long day and you instantly start to feel more relaxed. Watching the Koi and other Pond Fish gracefully swimming around and nibbling from the underwater rocks and gravel can be almost hypnotizing. A variety of birds come to drink and bathe in the stream and colorful dragonflies flit here and there on mosquito patrol. Water lilies bloom in almost every color you can imagine and you'll soon see that frogs really DO sit on lily pads! Having one of these Ponds in your landscape is like coming home every day to a private vacation retreat right in your own backyard!

Sand was hauled in to form the 11’ tall water feature and compacted in lifts to ensure stability. The Moss Boulders were installed on top of the liner and a waterfall created pumping water out of the pond. 90,000 gallons of water per hour using three five horsepower pumps.

Vinly-lined pool was nestled into landscape with careful consideration for existing trees and mature shrub root systems. From spa, clients can view koi pond and waterfalls while relaxing. www.deckandpatio.com

If your plantings are over 10 years old, they are probably way overgrown; any original landscape design has long faded when plants have grown practically into trees. Here, fresh new plants, mixed with moss rock and river rock alongside the waterfall, make a beautiful impression. www.deckandpatio.com

We love a job that presents a challenge! This Smyrna home had a sloped hillside, and it needed a boost. We went with natural materials throughout. We built terraced landscape beds using boulder retaining walls. Plantings included shrubs, ornamental grasses, trees, and beautiful rose bushes. Pine straw was placed as a ground covering to help prevent any erosion. We added a great waterfall where there was a stream and it added a great focal point. A wooden fence was installed around the property to give a visual border. See more information and photos on our site.
