The design concept was to emulate nature as much as possible. Created with multiple living spaces: a natural stone fire circle, and patio and outdoor living room tucked under the deck. Naturalistic features like a waterfall and stream look like they have been here forever.

This custom waterfeature was built for this outdoor living space. A stone wall holds the patio level above the stream. The waterfall cascades out of the wall and the stream created from granite and outcropping stone moves along the wall. The soothing sounds of bubbling and flowing water are the perfect way to unwind after a busy day. This stream is low maintenance and is pondless, so the water cycles back through without a big pond at the end. A great fit in a small space or without the worry of having a pond.

This stunning free-form pond is a huge hit with the clients’ entire nature-loving family. Everyone enjoys feeding and watching the vibrant koi as they swim about in it. “We even get to enjoy it all at night,” says the wife. “And we can see it from our home and offices, too.” www.deckandpatio.com

The paver sidewalk carries across the front of the home to the patio on the other side, just off the indoor family room. There is a stream just off the patio and with three water features, the sound of water can be heard throughout the house.

This Pondless Waterfall project in York, PA includes a 65′ long waterfall and stream and a 35′ side stream and waterfall that will intersect the main stream. This pondless waterfall includes LED lighting throughout the feature and a land bridge about 6′ wide for the lawn mower to cross the water feature. The pondless waterfall will include driftwood and native rock to resemble PA native streams. The feature will vary in width for a natural look as well. This Project also includes a small flagstone patio area above the retaining wall near the water feature with natural stone steps that lead to a larger natural flagstone patio. The upper patio is complete with a pergola as well as a natural stone gas fed fire pit, as well as landscaping around the water feature and landscape lighting for night time viewing.

Water features are a stunning addition to any yard. They don't just have to be a pond. A running stream or water fall not only give visual impact but will add the ambiance of the sound of running water. Incorporating native plants can assist in keeping the look natural.

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
