This is a recently completed project in Lancaster County, PA consisting of natural stone steps with a limestone boulder retaining wall and a 15′ pondless waterfall with 5 LED landscape lights in the stream. The video was shot with our GoPro Hero. Below are some still shots of the waterfalls and stream.

Front Yard Drought Tolerant Landscape With a Dry River Bed

The main goals of this project was to make it more usable and enjoyable for the owner, to reduce maintenance and to created a covered area for enjoyment year-round. This design also kept the family's new puppy in mind - fencing it in for safety and planting with careful consideration of plants that are safe for dogs. The winding pathway for humans is reminiscent of a stream bed and there is also a narrow perimeter fence specifically for the pup! Ben Park

This new dry stream bed diverts excess water away from the lawn, while also creating an eye-catching focal point for the backyard. Large flagstones act as "foot bridges" to the "island" where the river birch lives.
