Thank you. We built that all ourselves about 4 years ago. That is right in front of thel house in what formerly was a weedy circle with 2 trees planted off center. We never could get the grass looking — all pushed up with tree roots, etc. When one tree died, leaving a lop-sided silver Maple, I pushed for both trees to be removed and a fountain installed.
One thing led to another: Fountain had to have a base. I wanted roses; they needed better soil = raised bed. I needed water for the beds, so we undergrounded a water pipe and sprinklers from the house. Fountain needed electricity, so we undergrounded electricity at the same time and installed a connection in one of the raised beds so that we can have Christmas lights and also a place to connect power equipment out in the middle of the yard. The added bonus? I can turn the fountain on and off from the house.
Roses are a 2 season flower, so I wanted bulbs for the spring for color. The whole thing took all summer and didn’t get finished until November — so roses were put off until spring. But, I planted 1000 bulbs in the newly installed raised beds minutes before the snow flew. So, I have this wonderful color for a couple of months in the spring, and then the roses take over.
I purchased a 3 tier fountain for my wife to use as a centerpiece of something similar, with benches and raised beds. But we are on hold as we prepare to move in a couple of months. This is our first year with nothing new going on in the yard.
