"I had a completely different experience than the other reviewed. Doug was incredible and did an amazing job. I hired him for several projects, including general landscaping, tree removal, and area clean up, but the biggest project I hired him for was the removal of a decaying retaining wall and installation of a brand new one. Doug kept me in he loop at all times, kept a clean work site, was completely professional, and did an amazing installation job. Yes, he works alone, but I look at that as an advantage. First, he is a perfectionist and laid every stone himself. Second, his price was much cheaper than other quotes I received because he is not paying employees. The wall, which is 90 feet long, was a huge undertaking and I could not have asked for a better job. I also had him plant trees on my property. He comes by every other day to check on them and water them -- not many contractors care that much. I highly recommend Doug and have already hired him for new projects. The final point I will make is that many of the contractors I have either contacted or hired are non-responsive, do nto keep me up-to-date, or outtight lie. Doug is the complete opposite."

Fountains questions, answered by experts

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.

How many fish can call your pond home depends on the volume of the pond and the fish size. Your pond's filtration system also influences the number of fish that will thrive in a pond. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 inch of fish for every square foot in a pond that's 2 feet deep. Another rule of thumb you can follow is to have one koi fish for every 200 gallons of water or two goldfish for every 200 gallons.

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.

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.

DIY kits exist, but professional installation ensures proper filtration, landscaping, and leak-proof construction.
