Water Feature Wednesday | #waterfeaturewednesday | Carters Nursery Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

Is it just me or is October moving fast 💨 Only 12 days till Halloween 🎃 And it’s already #waterfallwednesday… Scratch that, it’s #waterfeaturewednesday! 💥
Checkout this beautiful Custom Fountain. It’s a disappearing fountain, meaning the water flows into an underground chamber where it’s stored and recirculates from there.

I just LOVE this Water Feature ❤️ It sounds so good 😊 It really sets the mood in this beautiful backyard patio garden 🪴 With the lighting, it becomes a 24 hour feature… Enjoy it all night! It just keeps on bubbling bubbling bubbling…

Have a Great #waterfeaturewednesday! #waterfallwednesday

Waterfall Wednesday | Water Feature Wednesday | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

One of the big reasons I went down to Florida recently was to train and earn CEU’s (Continuing Education Units) for one of my Certifications, namely my certification as a Master CAC (Master Certified Aquascape Contractor). We took part in 3 different Water Feature builds, one of which I am sharing here today. This is a custom Fountainscape with color changing lights in a very beautiful garden setting. check out this short video of the finished product

Can you imagine having this in your backyard garden? The sound, the movement, the 24 hour interest! A Water Feature will change your life for the better! Enjoy #waterfeaturewednesday!

Waterfall Wednesday | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

Some people call it Hump Day, I prefer #Waterfallwednesday! This old photo popped up today in my memories so I thought i would use it as my Waterfall Wednesday offering.

This one has been around a while! We built it during a rainwater harvesting class here in Jackson around 15 years ago. Its still running strong today!

I love the sound of the waterfalls! But I also love the brass statue! It really adds a nice effect to this small backyard landscape.

Today marks the half way point of the week… Its all downhill from here 😊

Water Feature Wednesday! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

Fall is in full swing and its already #waterfallwednesday… Or should i say, Water Feature Wednesday 😊 After all, I love all Water Features!

Heres a really cool Water Feature we just installed. Its called a Disappearing Fountain, because the resivour is underground and the circulating water goes down into the basin making it look like the moving water just disappears…

These are so nice! they are extremely low maintenance and you can get really creative with what you use as your fountain head. This one is a Stacked Slate Sphere and everyone just loves it! what do you think?

Its Water Feature Wednesday! Have a great day!

Pond Tip Tuesday | Design Tips For The Perfect Pond | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio

Water features are popping up everywhere and it seems everyone wants a backyard Pond or Water Feature.

Water features come in many forms… Bubbling Fountains, Pondless Waterfalls, Ornamental Koi Ponds and so much more! My single biggest request is to design and install Custom Residential Watergardens and Ponds! Everyone wants their own personal Oasis! And Why Not? They add so much to your life. But remember, If it’s worth doing , it’s worth doing right.

Like any project you undertake , you should first do some research and gather info .

– First , look around at some local Water Features and talk to some people who have one in their life. Identify some interesting design elements that you like and may want to incorporate into yours. Streams, bridges, lighting, fish caves, waterfalls, jets, etc, etc…

 Go on a Pond Tour! There’s no better way to see some awesome Watergardens and talk to actual Pond owners than on a Pond Tour ! I have been on dozens of Pond Tours all over this country and there’s no better way to learn about what its like to have a Waterfall in your own backyard than on a good Pond Tour! In fact, we have our Annual ‘Moonlight Pond Tour’ coming up on Saturday, September 18th.! See some gorgeous Ponds and Waterfalls with extensive night lighting. You will find Inspiration and ideas galore! 💥

– If and when you need some help with your design, call a professional Pond Designer! When I need help outside of my Specialty, and I want something done right the first time, that’s what I do. AND – Be choosy! Make sure your dealing with a qualified Waterfeature Specialist ( like a C.A.C. – Certified Aquascape Contractor ), PS: it’s probably NOT the guy mowing your grass… Check references! Look at Their work (older and more recent)! And Always get a written contract! I have successfully installed thousands of Water Features over the last 32 years and would be more than happy to help you in your quest for the perfect Backyard Water Feature!

Getting a Backyard Pond is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do for yourself!

Viva La’ Ponds!

#Throwbackthursday | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

Here’s a beautiful “Disappearing Fountain” that we built a few years back. I just love the old Spilling Bowl that creates the uppermost Waterfall. It just feels good… Here’s to Waterfalls!

This little Water Feature creates such an intimate feeling in the Garden. And the range of sounds that it produces is just amazing 🤩

What day is it? Come on , you know what day it is… That’s right! It’s Throwback Thursday 💥
