We surrounded the “pondless” backyard stream with waterfalls (above) by moss rock boulders. The water flows past the client’s newly installed portable hot tub, which was set against a new two-level patio with fire pit and seating/dining areas. Techo-Bloc Borealis’ modular 5”-and-10”-wide slabs have been called trompe l’oeil by industry professionals. Offering such a natural wood look, it was the perfect choice for a patio that sits beside a flowing stream with waterfalls. However, there is an even more wonderful way to go “green.” And that is to harvest the rainwater that maintains the water feature. www.deckandpatio.com

Because of the topography, the pool was located far from the house, down a steep grade. We added beautiful creeping ground cover and natural boulders, so that even the property's challenging raised grades were turned into benefits. Also, by installing enough retaining boulders and plant materials, Mother Nature's own gravity coaxes water naturally over rock etc. into a pond. http://www.deckandpatio.com
