Abel / Nichols Pond
This do-it-yourself project was also
done on a shoestring budget. Objects de' art found at yard sales and
rock that came from the area go into building this very zen oriental pond.

Carroll Pond
Open the wooden gate and walk into
another world. Stacked stone walls and walkways tie all the features
of the Carroll's backyard environment together into a neat package.
Great for entertaining, this fine work by Pond Doc Certified Pond Builder,
Neil Boyce of Blades and Blossoms, is a masterpiece! |

 |
Voeglie Pond
A formal flare is softened by the
Voeglie's finishing touches. Colorful plants seem ablaze beside the
grey stone. The fish were all rescues facing certain death but thanks to the
Voeglies they are alive and happy in their home. |

King's Courtyard
A raised formal pond set in the center
of a formal European courtyard is bordered by herbs.

Tabert Pond
A shady brook falls into a large koi
pond fits perfectly with its surroundings in the Tabert's backyard. Large
koi play as one watches from the large, comfortable swing. |
| |
|
 |
Garrin Pond
It takes a while to walk the course of
the stream that runs from a small waterfall at the top of the yard into a
large koi pond complete with walk-across stepping stones, Blades and
Blossom's signature design. It's one of those ponds one wishes he had in his
own backyard... |

|
 |
Hauck Pond
A gentle stream runs down to a nicely
done koi pond. A large flat rock juts out offering a great place to
sit while feeding and admiring the fish. The pond, built by Pond Doc
Certified Pond Builder, Nemar Cobb of Alpha Aquatics, blends beautifully
into the very structured and sculptured gardens and pool area. |

Mallari Pond
Is it real or manmade? It's hard
to tell with this pond. It's also hard to tell where the brook begins
as it winds its way through dense plantings in this shady paradise.
Colorful goldfish gather at the edge of the deck in the Mallari's peaceful
backyard and butterflies land nearby. |

 |
Maxwell Pond
Serene, peaceful world where the koi
are the kings of the pond and the gardens are fashioned from the heart. It's
obvious that this habitat was built with a lot of love. Shady woodland
gardens give way to a sunny slope where the garden comes alive with color.

Weller Pond
It's easy to find your way around the
rock-lined paths to the pond that is nestled in the middle of this yard that
is mixed with shade and sunshine. A large lotus is highlighted in the center
and a chinese fisherman sits patiently waiting for one of the fancy goldfish
to bite. The grounds were ablaze with yellow black-eyed Susans.
