Pond and Goshen Stone Patios West Simsbury, CT
Phase One of this industrious project included replacing all brick walkways with natural Goshen Stone Work and a custom created 360 degree Fountainscape which welcomes guests as they approach the entrances. An ecosystem rock and gravel pond with bog filtration, stunning waterfalls and a low-maintenance skimming bay is the centerpiece of the Backyard Paradise. A large Goshen Stone Patio cantilevering the pond edge, sitting wall and fire pit guarantee the owners will be spending quality time pondside.

Wow! The curb appeal of the newly crafted Goshen Stone Walk is undeniable.
Notice how the hand selected bronzed Goshen Stone compliments the remaining stone steps.
Due to access restrictions, the waterfalls are created first, followed by excavating the 15x25 Ecosystem Pond.
The devil is in the details... Here the crew trims the liner and further naturalizes the newly created waterfalls by adding moss and plants.
It's beginning to look like a pond guys!
A large Goshen Stone Patio, Sitting Wall and Fire Pit ensure that this beautiful pond will be enjoyed daily. Low voltage LED pond lighting create a night time as well as day time water feature!
Moss was added to rocks that remain moist. The newly transplanted moss will thrive and create a much more natural effect.
Using large boulder to frame the waterfalls creates a much more natural water feature. Incorporating weathered driftwood is another useful design element.
