One of life’s simple pleasures is to come home from a long day at work to your quiet backyard to relax your body and renew your spirit. It is very satisfying to look at the work you did to create a retreat from all of life’s stresses. It did not just happen, the result took planning and a lot of work to get to where it is now.

In planning stage, you look at the size of your yard, the shape of your yard and what you plan on doing with your backyard landscape. How many of the existing plants are you going to keep and are you going to be adding plants. Make decisions about any demolition in your backyard and decide if you are going to be constructing an addition to your backyard. With all of the possibilities at hand, the result has to come in on budget.

With your planning complete, getting all of the required elements together to start the actual backyard landscaping would be the next action to do. Having a ‘to do’ list would be a good organizational tool. You could even have a time line projection, but keep a large eraser handy because that time line needs to be flexible. If you’re backyard landscaping project needs large power tools such as backhoes and the like it would be best to hire outside contractors who specialize in this type of work. They can also be a source of useful information and someone to bounce ideas off of. Having a water feature in your backyard will add to the tranquility that you are trying to create, it can be a pondless waterfall or a pond for fish and aquatic plants. Remember this backyard is your get away from everything.

How large of a pump should I buy?

There is 18 to 20 ft of head pressure and I want to pump about 1200 gallons per hour.
There are several website that where you can buy a pump. I suggest you try one of these. http://www.watergarden.com/ http://www.pondliner.com http://www.thepondguy.com Buy a mag-drive pump, they are usually the best choice. These sites also sell weir boxes that help provide a smooth flow of water at the start of the water fall and are rated for various flow rates. This way if you have an idea how wide you want the fall to be, you can control it by the weir box you purchase.

pondless streams?

Anyone have a pondless stream/ waterfall? How deep should I make it? Thinking of making one this spring. Any tips, ideas, websites? Thanks

I use Filterific. They have an excellent brochure. It will help calculate how many gallons of water by the width, length desired depth.The brochure has a lot of pictures and diagrams to help visualize your project. It is a little on the expensive side. I use a septic tank for anything that is over 250 gallons because of expense. I found filterific at Ewing irrigation and had some what knowledgeable staff. Pond less is the best way to go especially if you have small kids. Often this time of year there are home and garden shows that also can give you more ideas.
