Carter's Water Garden


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

Many evenings in the Spring and early Summer we never really make it in the house… We end up eating dinner out on the patio, feeding the fish and sitting on the swing and just enjoying the Waterfalls 🌊

Living the ‘Pond Life’ can be pretty sweet!

It’s the midpoint of the week! It’s all downhill from here! Enjoy this #Waterfallwednesday!

Nothing, calms and relaxes you, like a Burble… | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

I told my wife that a minute ago and grinned 😊 Mmmm Hmmmm… ”Lets hear it, whats a burble”? Well well I said, let me lay this on ya’ real quick…

Here’s the definition of Burble : Verb ;

“To burble is to move with a rippling flow, the way water bubbles down the side of a small garden waterfall. A stream burbles as it travels along its bed, bubbling over rocks and branches. The verb burble captures both the movement of the water and the sound it makes as it moves.”
~ definition from vocabulary.com

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

Can you believe how fast this Summer is passing by… It’s already Waterfall Wednesday!
Todays Waterfall goes back a ways… We first built this Waterfall around 27 years ago 🤩

Recently we did a little “Facelift Work” on it and we all think it turned out great 👍🏻

They still have most of the original Koi that we put in the pond all those years ago 🤩 And boy have they grown!

Hey, I remember you 😊
Got something to eat for an old friend? ❤️

#Waterfallwednesday is always a great day! Especially when you looking back at something you did so long ago 😊

Have a Great Day!

PS: I can almost see the weekend from here…

Monday Morning Moment Of Zen | Carter’s Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

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!

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!
