Fini...Kirkland
July 2003
Here we needed to bring the country to the city, a small back-yard filled with a swimming pool. The kids are grown-up and so the pool is under-used. Instead of changing the pool into a pond we add a pond at the side. Since this is a corner lot we have a large side area that we can develop, but it's fenced off. So, tear down the fence and move it to create a bigger back-yard and fill that with a pond and a waterfall!
The homeowner wanted to have a Koi pond so we built a big pond and waterfall.
The sod is stripped and
now we're ready to go.
Bringing in some rocks for the Rockgarden
It's shaping up
The fence had to go and the pond gets bigger
Rocking in
almost ready, the bridge is missing and the
planting
impatient customer
putting
in the fish before its time! and they survived.
the bridge is in and only the planting is left
I wanted a very simple, yet elegant bridge.

the customer wanted to do his own planting and did very well after a few pointers .
