Water gardening is a great way to bring tranquility into your backyard getaway. Any homeowner that has built a pond or waterfall in their yard will tell you how much it has changed a dead space into a private oasis. This video we found online from California Waterscapes will give you a better idea of what its like to own a pond.
If the video sparked an interest to get your own private oasis, then we suggest that you take a look at Angies List. There you can find a local qualified installer, and also read reviews from past customers they have serviced. Now if your in the Southern California area, we recommend that you call California Waterscapes, they have an amazing satisfaction rate and are completely qualified to do this type of work.

I made my way to the Long Beach Convention Center this past weekend to enjoy the Southern California Home Improvement & Landscape Show, and wanted to share just a few photos of some design ideas that I enjoyed.First is this beautiful pondless waterfall that was built by California Waterscapes. This is great for smaller spaces where an entire pond can't fit, or if you would rather have a water feature in the yard for noise rather than fish. If you in the Southern California area there is a link on the left if you want an estimate from California Waterscapes.
I also spotted an outdoor dining set that is very practical and beautiful at the same time that was created by Pacific Outdoor Furniture. The table pictured above is a 4x10 piece that is made of solid redwood. Now for those of you that are worried about the environment, Pacific Outdoor Furniture only use wood that is FSC certified. That means the wood is farmed and no forests are destroyed in the process.
