I was very careful in my placement of stone and that I held the trowel properly, mostly as a means of avoiding getting the back of my hand smacked with a nun's ruler.

Loropetalum espaliered
Narrow beds, spacious wall....need a plant that will not outgrow it's space but contribute heighth and the illusion of mass to tone down an architectural element? Loropetalum espaliered. :-)
Backdoor View
This is a pond I designed and installed incorporating the homeowner's statuary and pottery, as they desired. The pond is nestled just fifteen feet from the back patio where Rob's clients enjoy their morning coffee.

Big hill = Nice falls
Backyard Pond w/ Jasmine, Thyme, Candytuft, etc. used as accent plants

I converted an old swimming pool into this pond and surrounding garden area about 5 years ago.

Patio, sitting wall and fire pit
You can have a pond even if you have limited space. This pond could probably fit inside a 6' by 8' oval.
There's a gator in this small pond I built a year ago.
The ponds I build often take on the personality of my client. I talk to them about certain details of the pond construction (size of rock used, differing styles of building a water course [more natural, long water drops, etc.] to ensure they are happy with the end result.

You never know what might be lurking in the garden! Actually, this is a poke salad plant I found on a job site that looks a lot like an iguana.
Not much hops!
