About This Space

I made two garden ponds with a bridge and three waterfalls and a stream between the two ponds. I have over 20 koi and lots of frogs. I also built a deck with a pergola. At night the ponds light up with torches and low voltage lights under the waterfalls and around the ponds and my wife and I sit in our swing and listen to the waterfalls and frogs croaking. I live in Ohio so we can only enjoy it for 8 months out of the year. In the winter the koi stay at the bottom of the pond.

Tdnuss, We lost alot of fish due to animals/birds feeding! So, I took my old broken Hot Tub, buried it, lined it. Plenty deep enough! I just uploaded it to this site. Haven't lost a fish yet - although they've tried! lookk for "recycled hot tub"

I love your backyard!!! I have recently moved to a new home and I miss my pond at the old house. I will have to work on a new pond here.

Absolutely gorgeous! It must have taken a lot of work. We're in New Jersey and have a small pond. I hate when my fish are on the bottom of the pond in the winter and I can't "interact" with them, but at least they all survived this rough winter!

Absolutely beautiful! Are you a professional landscaper?

if not, you should be...Is that a grape arbor in the background?
love, love, love what you've done there!

Can yoiu please tell me how you keep your pond from turning green? My husband has tried everything with ours and is ready to tear ours out because he can't keep it from turning green.

I took the full tour of your lovely backyard.. It's just so beautiful, so colorful.. This is a very inspiring space. I keep thinking I'm going to take out my raised flower bed and do a pond and this really puts a Bee in my bonnet. Thank you! :

Your pond is beautiful. I love all the color you've put around it. Especially the liatris. And the fact that you actually got roses to grow on an arbor is impressive! I'm in minnesota and I've tried for years with no success.
