"We hired Marty to install sod and landscaping at our home. We did not have any ideas on what type of plants or landscaping for our area that we would like. Marty was able to come to our home and provide us with a recommendation that we would have never dreamed of. He was able to transform our front, side, and backyard into something that looks like it should be in Southern Living. He immediately wowed us with his deep knowledge of different types of plants and was able to create us a detailed drawing of what our new yard would look like. He also took the time to email us pictures of the different plants that he suggested to make sure that we liked what he was suggesting. He picked plants that would provide color year round and mixed plants that would go dormant with plants that would stay green year round. In addition to giving us landscaping that we are proud of, Marty and his crew were very punctual. He set up appointments with us and showed up exactly on time. During the process of the installation, he and his crew began working on the agreed upon date and finished in remarkable time as well. He also extended a fence for us that was not in the original plan without extending the timeframe of the project. Once the project was complete, we had over 60 new plants of different variety and new sod. We felt that Marty's cost for all of he and his crew's work, plants, and sod was very reasonable. I will recommend him to anyone that needs landscaping design and installation."

Fountains questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use. In lieu of an electric pump, there are a few options including hand-cranked pumps or sprinkler systems that can work to provide water for a fountain.

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.

Most home misters use several cups of water in a couple of minutes, or around a gallon per hour of use. That varies greatly depending on the size of the system and the power of the pump. If you are using professional services, you should ask about water use for your planned system when you’re getting an estimate. If you are using a water tank, make sure it’s filled before operation.

Lifespans vary by material and manufacturer, but pond liners last anywhere from 10 to 75 years. For example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pond liners have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. Other types of pond liners, including those made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), can last 40 to 50 years.
