Compact Wax Myrtle (maintained at 4 to 5 feet tall) and a 'Fire Glow' Japanese Maple planted about 3 years ago.
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.
Some more Harmony Landscape ponds
Big hill = Nice falls
Backyard Pond w/ Jasmine, Thyme, Candytuft, etc. used as accent plants
Small water feature for a limited space
I converted an old swimming pool into this pond and surrounding garden area about 5 years ago.
I'm the one not holding a flute!
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.

Garden Monster
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!

During my days attending Auburn, I had a cat that fetched tennis balls.

That's beautiful, Rob. One day I'll have enough money to hire you for a job. It's a goal of mine. Do you barter? :)
Thank you, Debbie. As for the bartering...from your arsenal of delectable creations: Stuffed Focaccia (yum), Chicken Capri (I'm getting weak kneed), Dark Chocolate-Espresso-Hazelnut Chewies (I'm generally always hungry, and you are an awesome cook, so maybe we could work something out!)
