Waterfall Wednesday from Groveland, Florida

This weeks Waterfall Wednesday feature is the focal point of this large Groveland, Fl courtyard.
Guest are drawn to cross the custom built bridge and are often stopping as they cross to interact with the koi swimming about. You get the feeling of being closed off from the world as you sit and relax at this pond.

The home owners had just taken possession of their new custom built home so we had no sod to remove and no trees or shrubs to work around.
Just think no grass to mow in this area.

Big boulders were used to add character as well as to add scale and dimension to the waterfall, we  didn't want it to "get lost" up against the courtyard wall.


Several upgrades were added to this pond oasis to reduce time and maintenance for the home owners.
2 waterfall Biofalls were added for additional flow and filtration. An Iongen system was added to reduce the amount of algae growth on the rocks. Aeration was added to increase oxygen levels in the pond.
Upgraded lighting was added both inside and outside the pond.
2 pumps were installed to give maximum flow over the falls, and a UV system was installed in insure clear water at all times.

The pond looks and sounds amazing.
Due to the location of the pond being in the courtyard, the walls "trap" the sound inside.
When the windows are open the sound travels through the entire home.
