  • Decking Material
  • Sun vs. Shade Landscape Considerations
  • Landscape Design and Planting
  • Pool Structures
  • Equipment
  • Baffles and Shade Structures

View our Photo Gallery of Swimming Pool Projects in the Lehigh Valley. Let Garden Design help coordinate the many contractor details that make up a successfully installed pool landscaping. This is one of the many technically-demanding elements of our landscape contracting repertoire that expands the concept of a traditional outdoor landscape planting plan.

Ponds

From the initial pond liner through finished pond and waterfall, Garden Design is the landscape contractor for decorative water features.

Landscaped ponds can be finished with planting details:

  • Water Iris
  • Water lettuce
  • Reeds
  • Bamboos
  • Cannas
  • Pickerel rush
  • Arrowhead
  • Waterlilies

Ponds should also include nature's water jewels:

  • ornamental koi
  • goldfish
  • frogs

A landscaped pond can also be a waterfall without the pond. A pond-less waterfall is virtually maintenance free. See the accompanying photos for more pond-producing ideas...
