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!

Congratulations For 65 Years Of Gardening Love 💐❤️

I had the honor to speak to a wonderful Garden Club earlier this week. I prepared a Keynote Presentation on “Low Maintenance, Custom Water Features” for the ladies, complete with handouts, prop’s & a power point projection show… As much as they enjoyed learning more about Water Features, I think I got an even bigger treat! This was their 65th Anniversary as a Garden Club & it was the hosts Birthday! Happy Birthday DD 💥 We all had Lots of FUN!

What a great group of ladies! So much positive energy & love for the Garden! Congratulations to the Evergreen Garden Club for 65 years of Gardening! This is just the beginning!

The Food was Awesome!

Valentines was part of the theme, and the food was plentiful.

Many of the members of the club are friends and/or clients, so I felt right at home. It’s always nice to speak to an engaged audience, and all the members LOVE the hobby of Gardening!

 

I tried to get everyone in the shot, but there were so many in attendance I still missed a few ❤️ What a great morning speaking for the Evergreen Garden Club on their 65th. Anniversary! Here’s to Many More! 💥

“I have found, through years of practice, that people garden in order to make something grow; to interact with nature; to share, to find sanctuary, to heal, to honor the earth, to leave a mark. Through gardening, we feel whole as we make our personal work of art upon our land.”

   ~ Julie Moir Messervy

Thanks again to the wonderful Ladies of the Evergreen Garden Club! Have a Great Day! Spring is Coming! 💐

Follow Up to Tuesday’s Teaser | Carters Nursery, Pondl & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee

Tuesday I posted a picture of an area that I was working on to create a new display. Every year or two I redo this area with something new – Mainly Cool Custom Fountains. So, without further ado, here is a before and after of this display area.

Before

After – Water Wall Fountain.

After – Original Angle.

There’s a little more touch up to do, and I am going to add a bit more 😊 but I think it turned out nice… What do you think? Please give me your opinion. Feel free to stop by and take a look around.

Have a Great weekend!

Monday Morning Moment of Zen | Custom Fountain at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee

I was doing a few things at the office late yesterday evening & ended up sitting down up front by the Pagoda Stone Fountain for a little while to cool off, have a drink and relax. I have always loved this area, but just don’t get much time to hang out here. All I can say is WOW! I LOVE this Fountain! This little video doesn’t do it justice! It’s just perfect beside the patio/deck up there. Great sound and the lighting effects are top notch! I think a fountain like this should be by every deck &/or patio everywhere! What a difference it would make for peoples enjoyment and relaxation.

My little contribution to Monday morning!

A little bit of Zen for ya’…
