I thought this was a timely shot of a nice Waterfall. This pictures was taken right after dark on a nice evening… Our evenings are about to get a bit longer thanks to Daylight Savings! And its Crappie season at the TN River! This beautiful Pondless Waterfall is at my favorite place to fish for Crappie – Birdsong Resort right outside Camden, TN.
Its Waterfall Wednesday! This weekend we set our clocks ⏰ forward to have more daylight in the evening… I’m ready!
Have a Great #Waterfallwednesday! I’ll see you out on the river 🎣

Don’t blink 👁 It’s #Waterfallwednesday again! I have been going through photos putting together a slideshow presentation for a wonderful group of local gardeners. I just really enjoy looking back at projects we have been involved in! Especially when I get to use the information to help others who are interested in our wonderful hobby of water gardening!
So since I have a few pictures at hand, I will post several Waterfalls for you today! All designed and installed by the team at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio!
I hope these images lift your day! All of these are in a clients backyard paradise and I just bet you that they are sitting out there right about now, enjoying the sight and sound of their own private Waterfall.
Have a great #Waterfallwednesday!

I wanted to share a couple of pictures we took last night while we were messing around in the garden.
Thats what its all about! Getting outside and having an enjoyable evening most any season of the year! That is one of the things I always try to achive with my designs, I try to design Gardens that have year round interest!
So, I hope you have been enjoying this beautiful Fall weather we have had… And I hope you enjoy this little glimpse of my Water Garden on a Moonlit 🌝 Indian Summer night in Autumn 🍁

Good Morning 🌞 It’s always nice to start the week off on a positive note and there is none any better to me than watching the Koi swim and eat 😊 And listening to the Waterfalls, Their happiness is mine as well… It’s easy to relax and find that moment of Zen…
It’s going to be a beautiful day!

Here we are already past the mid point of July… Your Waterlilies are still blooming, but they seem… tired 😓 All those fantastic blooms, take a LOT of energy! NOW is the time to prepare your Lilies and Lotus for the ‘Late season push’…
My Pond Tip today – Keep your Aquatic Plants fed and trimmed.
Try doing these 2 things and you can thank me later
#1 keep your lilies & lotus fed (fertilized) to keep them performing into late summer and fall. It’s very simple to do! Come by and grab a container of Aquatic Plant Fertilizer Tabs. One of us will show you how to poke em’ down into the root zone of the plant… and your done… It’s that simple
AND #2 is to keep your aquatic plant growth in check! All this Warm weather has them growing like weeds
- selectively trim marginal aquatics to keep in check and to promote strong compact growth.
- remove yellowed unattractive Lilly pads & spent blooms to Promote new growth and bloom.
- Keep Waterfalls & streams free and clear of excessive plant growth and debris! A plant dam will cause a leak every time!
That’s my Pond Tip for the week. It will keep your plants in top shape well into Fall & it will get you up and out in the garden for some much needed “Aquatherapy” 😊
Have a great night!

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!
