Streamside garden. Man-made stream.
This is an example of a rustic landscaping in Denver.

We used a dry stream and bridge to set this front entrance apart from others. Tumbled pavers were used for the sidewalk. Large blocks of weathered limestone were placed next to the sidewalk to be used as benches.

A series of small falls were created with the ledge rock. Three electric pumps move water during dry spells.

The two ponds and waterfalls are fed by this delightful stream, which Deck and Patio landscaped with beautiful plantings and river rock. www.deckandpatio.com

So many clients these days want a stream with waterfalls that they can stroll or sit beside to enjoy peaceful contemplative moments. The key is to making such a delightful experience is for it to appear as if Mother Nature carved it out long ago. This means careful thought must go into the plants and rocks used along the banks.

Note: they are not the cascading Petunias you see growing in porch hanging baskets, but are garden favorites that spread and trail along full of flowers. The pretty bluish-purple flowers just behind them are “Russian Sage” and the robust green evergreens rolling along the banks are “Procumben Junipers. www.deckandpatio.com
