What's a Pondless Waterfall?

Pondless Waterfalls are a great twist on our popular water features. A pondless waterfall is the perfect alternative for enthusiasts who want a waterfall and stream but don't want to keep fish or have a pond. It's great for public settings, and it's virtually maintenance free. There's no ecological need to run the system continuously so it works very well with vacation homes. They are also great nestled up to a front or back door, or a walkway, greeting your visitors with soothing sounds and beauty. For more information visit our Web site.

Tip of the Month

Container gardens are a terrific addition to any landscape. You can position a pot or container in an area that you want to make a focal point and easily update its contents to ensure great seasonal interest. Pick an annual with a bold color to stand out, or a vine and trellis to add height to an area, or pick a color palette that livens up a small space. A resource for container gardening tips is Fine Gardening , a great magazine and Web site full of great tips and suggestions to make your landscape a paradise.

Spring Clean-Out

If you have been experiencing the joys of Winter (snow and ice) you may have looked at your pond as if it's frozen in time, beautiful and waiting to burst to life in Spring. But while it's been frozen on the outside, life has continued on the inside! Fish are still producing waste and plants are still decomposing and it's all just waiting for the warm weather to come to life too. Not every pond needs a full clean out but the best way to be sure is to contact us . We will help you assess your water feature and determine how much, if any, cleaning it needs, and what products will help get your feature looking its best in the warm weather. For more information on water feature maintenance, visit our site or the Aquascape site.
