I acquired a stunning Earlier than & After from Claire over at The Backyard Diaries final week, and I’m excited to share her hillside pond makeover with you guys at the moment. What was as soon as only a plain set of steps up the aspect of a grassy hill has change into a unbelievable hillside retreat nestled right into a slope that leans proper subsequent to the home.
I like the addition of the retaining partitions and the cascading waterfall, which actually brings this candy little pond to the following degree. I actually like the concept of getting an space like this so near the house- it’s good to have the ability to step inside for one more cup of espresso with out having to trek throughout your entire dew-ridden yard. The opposite great point, on this case anyway, is that the waterfall might be in all probability be heard from indoors, which I’m positive is a calming addition to a heat summer time night time.
Yep, I’m sold- positively including a undertaking like this to my 5-year plan.
And under is what it appears like in bloom…these purple irises are gorgeous on this setting!
Thanks a lot for sharing, Claire! –erin
