Pondless waterfall.

Patty and I are going to invest a descent sum to re-landscape the front of our house to give it a TON more curb appeal. We met with a waterfall architect today, and following the same thoughts he had, we want to greatly reduce the amount of curbing and red rock, so this is a before and after photoshop. This phase was to just make the house "look" like the rocks were gone, and then I'll photoshop a waterfall feature that starts under my office window, comes all the way out along the sidewalk, and then has the illusion that it goes under the sidewalk and finishes near the coach light.

By removing all of the rocks, we give the landscape architect more flexibility on mulch, plants, and rocks to make it look extremely natural. There will be features on both sides of the front walkway. :yesnod:

Ours will be much more ornate than the 3rd picture, but it gives you an idea where our heads are at. We have 18 weeks to get this done, because the new concrete paver driveway and sidewalk are on their way.

Big project; sounds like it'll be a nice improvement. :seasix: Wife & I have always liked the natural look (rocks, etc.)

From your description, It's gonna look great. :seasix:
Hopefully you won't be getting up to piss or falling asleep every half hour because of the relaxing waterfall sound right outside your window though. :D

Way less maintenance, and you don't need to worry about birds stealing your fish. :lol:

The original owners of our house at a koi pond. Their fish would constantly disappear. At some point, the pond was removed. :shrug:
