  • This is the pond in front of our house.  Built by previous owners.  Fun, but dirty w/the trees surrounding.
  • Front of house w/large garden in front, and to the side.  Entry gate is to the left of the corner of the house.  Hoping to build deck along the length of house

Outdoor Living: Our Front Yard Pond and Other Projects

We just purchased this house and it has a great 3/4 acre yard with a pond in front. It has a fountain, w/a spray fountain (see white pvc pipe in pic). We like it OK, but it is dirty as it ...»
is under the trees and gets lots of leaves in it. The fountain leaks in back and the water keeps getting lower and lower, probably a hole in the liner somewhere.

So we are thinking of filling in the pond w/small red lava landscaping rock on bottom (lots of this in a garden we are redoing and I dislike it), then river rocks on top w/the fountain still bubbling up in the middle. Any suggestions on how to do this properly so that the water will not leak out, and we don't have to continue to refill the water level? Thanks for any ideas, I live in Wyoming so there is LOTS of snow in the winter and it is only used in the summer months.

Now we are also going to redo the front of the house w/a full length deck (eventually a roof over it). Have some cinder blocks, and thought about using wood decking over them w/the blocks as support. Do we need to place the blocks in sand to level? Or how should we proceed?

    Fill it in???? It's beautiful. I would put a new liner over the old liner. It will fix any ...»
    leaks and give you extra protection against leaks/punctures. No sharp rocks in the pond itself. River rocks are okay but when it comes to keeping it clean the rocks make it impossible to do a good job. We hand dug ours 6 years ago and I am in CT so we have winter weather as well. We have trees all around our pond and in he fall it can make a mess unless you put a net over it. You can use bird netting but I suggest something stronger. You are going to get leaves in the pond even without nearby trees rom the wind blowing around. As far as the fountain. You can buy what you are looking for. We used an upside down plant pot that was the right height (we put holes in it so it would stay sunk then put the pump on top of it Hope this helps!

Gardening: How do I get trees out of my ground cover?

I have a good sized bed of myrtle ground cover and there are oak and maple saplings growing in it. How do I get rid of them without digging up the whole bed? Is there any way to keep them from starting there in the first place? Help!!!

    Are these black ants, or red ants? For the dark ants, you can try Borax, Baby Powder, Tee Tree ...»

This flower bed is extremely dense with phlox. Last year, I pulled much of the grass out by the roots, but it came back with a vengence this year. We've had a ton of rain in Virginia. ...»
Other than digging up ALL of the phlox, does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the grass? The phlox is so thick that I can't get to the grass roots.

Gardening: How to kill Crabgrass in lawn

Would like a home made receipe for killing crabgrass in the lawn. Something without salt in it as that kills everything and keeps grass from growing back for a long time.
