amount of materials. A great focal point for under $700.00!
And to create a water garden on a slightly grander scale, try having a rolling
waterfall attached to a fish pond. This pond in Annandale, Mn is 20 feet long
and 2 feet deep.
This waterfall which was built in Otsego, MN was created with the help of the
homeowner. We love to work with the help and input of our customers.

some evergreen and perennial selections.
Back to the pathways. I forgot to mention the beautiful lawn. Our sod
is the highest quality available anywhere. It is super-high quality sod with
a blend of perennial rye, festcue and bluegrass seeds. Sod farms around the
twin cities metro cut their grass for laying as soon as it has seeded at their
farms. Our sod supplier 'ages' their sod for months to produce established
and hardy grass which is always greener and more drought tolerant.
This is a shade garden which I made in Maple Lake, Mn. We used Graytrap boulders as outcropping to match the stone on the house. The garden
consists of plants such as Bleeding hearts, lamiun, globeflower and brunnera.
This entry garden is designed in an english garden style. Reclaimed stone
was used to create the pathway walls. Azalea's and daffodil's make this a
welcoming Spring garden.
This is the first perennial garden that I ever created which was for my
parents. Included within are Coral bells, yellow yarrow, orange milkweed,
blue veronica and yellow tickseed.
