Just a simple, flowing creek… listen for a moment and your hooked. I went out yesterday and walked some local creeks and river banks. All my designs are influenced by the streams and creeks of Western Tennessee where I grew up, and they are still what I seek out to recharge my spirit and my energy. Just a simple, flowing creek is all it takes for me 😊
There’s nothing more Zen like than that right there. Have a great week!

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!

We have already reached the mid point of the week, the day that starts the roll toward the weekend, YES! It’s #waterfallwednesday!
No matter how many times I see this waterfall or sit by it to relax in the evening, it never fails to please. Last night I found myself returning to the well once more…
Waterfall Wednesday is always a great day!
Enjoy!

Yes, another week is flying by ✈️ It’s already #waterfallwednesday 🌊
Many people ask me what my favorite Waterfall that we’ve built is…? Well, it’s the one we are building right now of course 😊
Not all Waterfalls are huge and dramatic. Some are gentle and meandering, with streams and lots of small falls and guess what… They have a HUGE impact in the Landscape!
One of the main things in my opinion, is that they fit the scale of the existing Landscape and topography. In other words, if you put a big mound in the middle of a flat space, expect the ‘Volcano’ effect. I try to always make it feel as natural and real as possible.
We are half way to the weekend! Boom 💥
Have a Great Waterfall Wednesday!

I get asked quite often, ‘what do I do’? My simple answer is usually ‘I build Waterfalls’… This is a video that I also use to explain what it is we do at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio 👇🏻
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video will really talk to ya’ 😊
Have a great evening!

Some people call it Hump Day… I call it #waterfallwednesday (In the voice of Carl)😂
Yes, we again find ourselves at the midpoint of another week, and as they say “It’s all downhill from here”… Maybe that’s why Wednesdays and Waterfalls work so well together? They both flow downward to an end 😊
You have probably seen this kitty cat 🐈 before and this Waterfall as well, but, not as much as I have 😊 And I still just love both of em’❤️
So enjoy your Wednesday! It’s all downhill from here… #waterfallwednesday

Don’t blink 👁 … It’s Monday once again! “Got anymore of that Weekend”??? The older I get, the more I become ‘pro 3 day weekend’ 😊 Thank goodness for my Waterfalls! This time of year, as everything is waking up, coming out and the weather is getting warmer, I’m out by my Ponds and Waterfalls more and more. My Waterfalls and Koi make mornings and evenings so much more relaxing and bearable. Especially on a busy Monday morning…
Enjoy this Little ‘Moment of Zen’…
Let’s all have a wonderful Monday morning!

I just thought I would keep it simple today. Two beautiful pictures of two beautiful Waterfall Projects. Waterfalls are my business, and business is good!
It’s a beautiful day! And, Spring is right around the corner 😊
Have a great Tuesday!

Yes, it’s already #waterfallwednesday again… And I wanted to share this beautiful little waterfall. Is it a natural Waterfall? Or, did I design and build it? In other words… “Is it live or is it Memorex”?
Drum 🥁 Roll… We actually designed and built this one several years ago in a shady backyard in Germantown Tennessee. Boom 💥
That is why it’s so important to use specimen quality stone! Native Aquatic Plants are a big part as well! And don’t leave out drift wood, mossy stumps and the like, they make it so much more ‘Naturally Beautiful’!
Enjoy your day! #waterfallwednesday!
