"Always greener Landscape transformed my back yard from a pit to a beautiful oasis! James and team quickly came up with a solution to a water mess my builders left me with in my back yard! They ran drain pipes along each side of my house, buried them and have them leading to a functional, extremely beautiful pond with two waterfalls... next to that they built a matching fire pit! They also built me a very sturdy privacy fence so that my back yard is totally fenced in and my puppy can run around off his leash! They built up my back yard and laid grass seed and covered it with hay! They also fixed a slab of concrete in my sidewalk leading to the house and James suggested I put my puppy’s paw ? prints in the sidewalk! That is such a beautiful touch! He did a great job with my little Peanut, getting his paws in there! James and team are top notch! Extremely professional, knowledgeable, polite and extremely affordable! I had gotten 3 estimates and by far, Always Greener, had the best design plan and price! I’m very happy I found them!"

Fountains questions, answered by experts

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

Backyard water features can add serenity to your property, drown out neighborhood noise, and serve as a focal point to a stunning landscape design. In some cases, a properly installed and maintained water feature can add to your home’s value. Just be sure to check with your insurance company before installation since some features may affect your premiums.

Algae growth is a common issue for misters, but you can do several things to prevent it. First, use a sealed water tank with distilled or filtered water to fuel your misters. Second, blow out the misters after every use so no water is left in the tubing. Third, thoroughly clean the misting system every several weeks of use at minimum during the warmest months. Third, wherever possible positioning tubing and the water tank away from direct sunlight and in the coolest areas possible.

Natural pools don’t necessarily attract snakes, although there is a chance they could stop by for a quick visit. They’re not likely to stay, however, because there’s nothing for snakes to eat in a natural pool environment. A well-maintained natural pool has clear water, so you should be able to easily spot a snake before diving in.

In addition to length and width, pond liners also come in various thickness levels. Thickness is measured in mils, a unit of measurement equal to one-thousandth of an inch, with most pond liners ranging from 15 to 60 mils in thickness. The smaller the number, the thinner (and weaker) the liner. To prevent rips and tears, it’s best to choose a pond liner that’s at least 30 mils thick.
