I have six koi in my pond, and I used to have a turtle in my pond, but we had a problem with her hibernation last winter and she is not with us anymore.  The goldfish in the pond are left overs from feeding the turtle, and they have grown quite large now.

A water feature tends to take over as the center piece of your Outdoor Living Spaces, no matter how large or small.  Everyone I do a pond for says that the pond is hands down the best addition to their yard.

I have a deck planned and three separate pergolas, only one of which will function as an outdoor room for the table and chairs tucked away by the head of the water feature.

The trees behind my swing will be the ceiling for that little space when they grow up.

I have, however, been able to tuck away several accessories that give the back yard that whimsical feeling that makes us feel comfortable outside.  Some of the accessories have been purchased, but others my kids have made, like the gazing balls and the little hidden caterpillars.

Thyme is a great floor for an Outdoor Living Space.  As always, let me know what you think of my front lawn.

Either way, we design beds with year round color and impact.  Click on the links below for more information about flower bed design philosophies and for examples of flower beds.

I want to add some more flowers and a couple of cherry trees to the plantings in the park strip.  Then, if I can get some mulch in there, it will help with weed control!  Let me know what you think.
