#6 Norma & Bill Kulle Springfield,
Ma
As you go up the driveway go to the left around to the backyard, there
is a river that goes through their yard. Look to your right and see Norma
& Bill's 2 yr old handmade pond. It starts up at the top of the hill
with one waterfall after another . . . etc. till you get to 3 levels of
ponds. The backyard slopes down and Bill himself put in all the Large
rocks to create different levels. A lot of hard work here. Along the
rocks and ponds are flowers, grasses and many other plantings.

This dentist office courtyard is very beautiful, handmade 2 years
ago. The pond is 7' lined with rock and is fed by 2 6' long cascading
waterfalls. They currently have a pet turtle named Larry, 3 butterfly Koi,
and water iris's. The pond is lighted at night and a pathway leads through
the courtyard and crosses over planted specious accenting the landscape.

The original pond is a preformed structure 4' x 3.5' built 2 yrs ago with a
small waterfall, goldfish, and shubunkins. The second pond was handmade
last year. 7' x 6' with a cascading waterfall. It has goldfish, shubunkins
and Koi. A water wheel and a bridge decorate the ponds for effects.
Flowers and statues surround the pond. Walking areas have pink carnation
stone underfoot. Stanley is presently building a bog pond.

Hadley, Ma
This is a 12' x 16' gravel bottom pond with a 40' brook winding thru the
trees in a natural setting with lots of ferns, wild blueberries, and
birdhouses. Joan & Jon hand built and landscaped the pond just last
spring. Jon worked really hard chopping & digging thru all the tree
roots & Joan took pictures. Tough job but someone had to do it. The
pond is home to several koi, a few shubunkins & lots of little frogs &
butterflies. The brook is also used as a birdbath for many different
birds. We love just sitting on the deck & watching all the natural
activity wondering what if any flowers will come back next year.

Over the course of 5 days in August of 2002, we transformed our backyard into
a tranquil retreat. The pond is kidney shaped with an elevated waterfall
and is surrounded by both perennials and annuals. Our collection of Koi
enjoy the many water garden plants. The dimensions of the pond are
approximately 23' long x 10-12' wide and nearly 3 feet deep.

Total relaxation awaits you as you step into this backyard oasis.
Double waterfalls ripple down into a fish pond nestled into a beautiful
landscaped natural setting. Also featuring a stone wall with a
fountain. This was handmade 1 year ago. Beautiful azaleas hostas,
perennials, and even statues surround this landscape along with a walkway and a
flagstone patio.
