Thousand Oaks Landscape Design Patio Cover Concrete Water Fountain Lighting Lawn Sprinklers
This is a job we completed just over a year ago in Thousand Oaks which is near Camarillo in Ventura County. This video shows how well all the plants have grown in in just a year’s time. We began with a clean slate of dirt in the back and sides and the builder installed front landscape. We created a landscape design based on the clients’ needs and integrating the existing layout and topography of the site. We enlarged and added planters in the front and redid all of the planting. On the side yard, we created a concrete trash pad and utility area and added stepping stones to access the new colored and stained concrete patio in the rear. The rear patio is shaded by a beautiful wood patio cover that is painted to match the house trim and accented with LED down lights and a bubbling urn fountain which the hummingbirds love. There are additional LED lights to illuminate the walkways and accent the plantings. There are two distinct areas in the back patio, one off the master bedroom for a private sitting area and another off the kitchen that serves as gathering area for larger events. There is large lawn on the other side where the kids can play and run around. Treated wood timbers make a rustic staircase to the elevated citrus grove on top of the rear slope. All the irrigation is the latest in water efficiency and is controlled by a Rainbird SMART controller for weather-based scheduling. If there is any questions on this project feel free to contact me. Enjoy!

Easy Water Feature Without the Cost
Using a bit of improvisation, I built an effective water feature from items found in our shed and around the garden. Luckily, I had an old pump and some pebbles but these items would be much cheaper to buy than buying a ready made water feature. I have posted this video to inspire people get creative and turn what they may see as rubbish and clutter into great garden focal points.

How to clean the water in a garden pond without draining water? Please help!?
Question by Kelly: How to clean the water in a garden pond without draining water? Please help!?
My grandmother has a hand built garden pond in her yard with several fish in it. It has turned green over time, I was wondering to make it easier on her if there were any way to make the water at least look cleaner without having to drain all the water? Thanks for your help!

Answer by MamaOf7
Put water plants in it. They do a good job. You can also hook up an external filter to the pump temporarily. You can also drain part of the water by using a hose and sucking on the end of it until water comes out. Just be careful not to get any in your mouth. I know it sounds gross but it works. Fill it up with new water. You can do this a few times so that it is not a shock to the fish.
