OMG!!! BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for the great pics of Inspiration!!! Love the bench and grill station, WOW!! The whole yard is so lovely, and your pond looks huge!!! How many gallons is it, and how long is the creek area?

Ahhh, David, what a lot of work you've done. And it all looks great. Now that your place is perfect do you want to come fix mine up? It is a disaster. LOL I'll build you a skippy filter to help clear up your water.

Question: in the 3rd picture - what are the white things shooting up into the air? Do you have lots of little ghosts floating around?

Tons of work there. Lots of great plantings too. May I divert this to your BarBQ? What is the door adjaacent to the grill and what is the round raised thing in front of it?

The pond is abought 4000gl. the streams are abought 25 @ 40ft.
That is the flash from camera shineing on rain drops.
The door is over storage cabinet, step for my wife she is short.
thanks for the comments.

Wow. Looking out at your gorgeous pond and garden and seeing a backdrop of trees and sky instead of neighbor's houses and cars. So wonderful. Nice collection of conifers too.

I bet it's taken a lot of work to make your landscaping so restful, lol. And a lovely collection of conifers too. Well done.

Your yard is absolutely gorgeous!! I hope some day to have a yard as beautiful as yours. Our pond is only about 1000 gallons but we're hoping to expand on it. We have a firepit but would like to build some seating around it too. Was that difficult to do? Any advice?

You should be proud! You have an amazing space!

It was not difficult.
Put a stake in the middle of your fire place put a string on the stake make the string as long as you want the seat to be away from fire pit. Put a spray can of paint on the end and draw a ark then dig a footing 4in. deep pore a cement base.
I layed the seat up with field stone fill the center with stone and mortor.
