Accessorized by boulders, other natural stone, and fed by a small waterfall, a pond can bring the serene ambiance of a natural watering hole to your design. Often placed around screening foliage or other plantings, a pathway can be built to lead you around the corner where you then come upon the hidden pool, creating the feeling that you are wandering in the woods instead of your own back yard. Other pond designs can be more styled, with things like water slides that lend them a function of a wading pool, water play area for the younger children, or something more akin to a spa. Some pools will want to have tranquil still water surfaces that are reflective of the trees and foliage around them, others will be given more life with a fountain, waterfall or stream. Ponds can also be scaled down to create small reflective water areas within heavily planted gardens, where your gaze picks up the reflective quality of the water through the foliage and greenery. Add floating flowers like water lilies, lotus or others and you have something very special here. And a pond can also be something as simple as a round water enclosure near a wall, perhaps accessorized by reedy plantings or adjacent pottery or a large vase. The ideas and applications here are endless.

Streams: There’s nothing that captures the energy and life of water like a flowing stream, so why not add one to your back yard or garden setting? The sound of the flowing water is naturally soothing to the autonomic nervous system, and streams also have that quality of wandering within a natural setting, leading your view around boulders, clusters of stones, down little waterfalls and into hidden pools. So for life, discovery and that cool soothing sensation of flowing water, a backyard stream is a perfect addition.

Fountains: If you don’t have the room for a stream or waterfall, the addition of a smaller fountain can give your design the benefits of flowing water and add its life and calming sound to your setting. Fountain designs are as varied as your imagination. Sometimes metal, other times crafted or well styled shapes, and other times more natural stone features. And they can be placed anywhere, poolside, within a wall, on a patio or right in the midst of a colorful garden. They can work their magic indoors or outdoors as well!

Spas: Softub ™ above ground are often added to decks, patios and outdoor garden areas. Their easy installation and covers make them a low maintenance option. Fiberglass Spa are also above ground and are more durable than their softub cousins in outdoor environments. At times these can be styled to a more natural look by doing some masonry work around the spa and laying in tiles on the rim, or using stone and boulders to create a more natural effect. For a truly natural look, opt for a Gunite Spa, which is designed with concrete built into the ground itself. You can create some truly amazing spa designs here, with large natural or faux boulders, waterfall features, complimentary sculptures or fountains, or even an adjacent fire fountain or fire pit. Some can be simple circular or oval designs, others more varied natural shapes built right adjacent to a sunken in-ground pool, or perphaps tiered just above the level of the pool. You simply cannot go wrong with the addition of any of these popular spa options, because there is nothing more relaxing or romantic than soaking in the turbulent steamy water under the stars with a glass of wine and a good companion.
