Would love to do around the pool -multiple levels of rock as a border looks neat and orderly but still natural. Also, many great landscapes at this site!
One purpose of soil is to support roots, Lima says―if you create another way to hold them up, you could even plant shrubs. Along a 40-foot wall, she built a 7-foot frame fronted by marine plywood and corrugated plastic (ridoutplastics.com). She stapled on two layers of synthetic Tuf-Felt (

Beautiful- Garden borders -- romantic roses, soothing hosta foliage, and cheerful container combinations -- lend charm to the intimate setting of the dining room terrace.
Dream Stream - This stream is actually a series of small water features -- each cascade, fall, riffle, & run is individually crafted so the water moves at a pleasing rate while making a delightful sound.

Japanese garden Nice small tsubo-niwa. Also, VERY intersting arrangement of the 3 rocks in the center. More equivalently spaced than normal, and unless you're supposed to look at it from the bottom L, also an unusual structure - 3 rocks with 1 tall & narrow, 1 low, long and large, and one low, round and small is standard, but having the round small one furthest back, and the tall one so far to the right instead of sort-of-but-not-actually centered between others are both unusual choices.
garden. immediately thought of Link to the Past's Hyrule Castle or Ocarina of Time's Forest Temple. is that bad?
Add a Pond - This pond offers something for everyone: refreshing drinks; a seed buffet for birds; sweet nectar for bees and butterflies; and hiding places for fish, frogs, and other water-loving wildlife. Installing a pond is just the first step in a successful wildlife habitat recipe. - include hardy and tropical water lilies, papyrus, dwarf papyrus, pennywort, cranberry taro, and arrowhead -- in and around the water are ingredients to show that Mother Nature had a hand in its creation
