"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

Like pools, ponds can be a safety risk, so they may increase your homeowners insurance. Be sure to let your insurance company know if you build a pond on your property—they may have safety requirements in order to keep your premium from increasing. 

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.

Natural swimming pools are designed to deter pests, including mosquitoes. While any body of water can potentially attract pests, the natural filtration system keeps the water clean and constantly moving. Mosquitoes specifically are attracted to standing water, so the continuously circulating water in a natural pool makes it an inhospitable environment for them.

Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:

Pros

  • Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.

  • Creates a relaxing space to enjoy in your yard. 

  • Water features can add more value to your home.

Cons

  • Regular maintenance is necessary.

  • Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.

  • Space may not permit you to install the fountain you want.

Most outdoor water fountains and features do not use a lot of electricity, typically consuming between 100 and 250 watts per day. The size of the fountain's motor can impact its overall electricity usage. To reduce energy consumption, you can use a timer to automatically turn the fountain off at night or when you are away from home. Additionally, installing solar power components can help lower electricity costs after the initial investment is recouped.
