A linear koi pond runs directly next to the lower outdoor sitting area. A stacked stone retaining wall includes several fountain spouts that help keep the pond full for the fish.
This water wonderland is actually a backyard, transformed after the homeowner's children grew up and moved on. The yard now has over 300 feet of streams and ponds.
Fish ponds are a great way for kids to witness wildlife up close and learn about natural ecosystems. Younger kids will enjoy feeding the fish and, in some cases, watching them grow.
The tranquil Koi pond features two waterfalls and lush plantings around the perimeter. The water feature was incorporated in the design not only for its visual beauty but for the soothing sound of the water.
This beautiful backyard feels like a sanctuary with stone walkways and koi pond. A variety of lush plants and flowers surround the stone paths and a bench is provided next to the pond for the ultimate relaxation.
Though the koi pond and reflection area are located at the center of the lowest level of this modern Dallas home, the creative layout of the second level allows natural light in, adding to the serenity and drama of the space.
The water feature was added to help create the owner's dream tropical garden. The koi pond was built by StoneFish on a former parking area on the property. Oolite and coral stone were used for the pond and surrounding areas. The sculpture and planter are client's own.
Rich green plants and an abundance of koi fish prove that life thrives in this fairytale garden. Thanks to broad windows against the back of the house, the owners can enjoy the view from inside as well.
