Check out this amazing backyard pond with just about every feature you could ask for installed in Lancaster, PA. This project included a large ecosystem pond with tons of different features throughout. A small wetland filter begins the journey into the large ecosystem pond. One of the ponds most noticeable features is the two bubbling urn fountains. There is stepping-stones through the pond. The stepping-stones take you from the back patio through the pond to natural stone steps leading to the yard. A zero edge waterfall was installed at the edge of the pond leading to the stream. Drift wood was incorporated to soften and naturalize the look of the pond. This is typical protocol during our pond construction. The stream then flows underneath a large natural stone bridge. the bridge connects large steps leading to the patio area. on the other side of the bridge is a large natural stone stairway. After flowing underneath the bridge the water enters the grand falls. This large multiple tier waterfall is quite breathtaking. This is just another example of what sets C.E. Pontz Sons apart from the competition. The final waterfalls then disappear into a pondless waterfall basin. The basin then recycles the water up through the wetland to further filter the pond water. Boulder retaining walls were also installed as well as landscaping lighting.

Water features that look like they are true to nature.

Along with natural ponds, of course we build natural streams and creeks This image is a cascade ( a steep riffle ) on a creek that began it's life as an irrigation ditch. Floral: red: indian paint brush purple: large leaf lupine. Both are native to this area albeit at much higher elevation. Our techniques allow us to bring flowers down that would ordinarily grow high in our Cascade Mountain Range. Real streams have riffles, pools, cascades and sometimes a feature called a glide. Real streams are not a rock lined "slot" turned up on an angle. Real streams also have bends, meanders and an ever changing width. We will demonstrate with a few photos.

Night Blooming Jasmine. Extremely fast grower and surprised me how tall it can actually get. This is currently approaching 10'.
