Before & After for Pond in Duvall
A client from Duvall approached us with a clear vision: she wanted a goldfish pond in her backyard. Here’s a quick breakdown of the project details and our transformation process.
Specifications:
- Size: The pond measures 9 feet by 12 feet with a depth of 2 feet.
- Water Feature: Includes an 18-foot long waterfall and stream, adding movement and life to the pond.
- Filtration and Cleaning: We installed a skimmer and an upflow filter to keep the water clear. A UV sterilizer was also added to control algae growth and maintain healthy water.
- Lighting: The pond features both underwater and terrestrial low-voltage LED lighting, enhancing the pond’s beauty after dark and creating a stunning night-time landscape.
Project Timeline:
- Completion Time: The entire installation was completed swiftly in just three days.
This installation not only met the client’s needs but also transformed her garden into a lively and serene space. The features selected ensure low maintenance and high enjoyment, perfect for relaxing by or hosting around.
Before & After: The Kirkland Garden Refresh
The Challenge: A classic 1960’s home in Kirkland with a garden that time forgot. Imagine this: a walkway glued to the house leading straight past a giant picture window. Not exactly privacy-friendly, huh? The garden? Think “vintage” gone a bit too far with tired grass and shrubs that had seen better days.
Our Mission: Time to shake things up! The goal was clear – revamp the garden, ditch the peeping-tom path, and save the stars of the show: those chic poodle-clipped pines, a majestic Japanese Maple, and a charming Vine Maple.
The Solution: Enter Rick, our garden design guru. He whipped up a plan that gave the walkway a new lease on life, now steering clear of the house (and that too-revealing window). Plus, he introduced a stunning new tree along with a bunch of shrubs and perennials sure to be a hit with the local bee and bird crowd.
The Result: Just four days later and voilà! A refreshed garden that made our customer super happy. Privacy restored and a view improved with added wildlife bonuses.
Designer’s Pro Tip: Let’s talk walkways. They should be buddy-friendly (at least four feet wide), no dawdling necessary (choose pavers that fit snug together), and keep it straight-ish (slight curves are cool, but let’s not turn it into a maze). Make it easy for everyone to enjoy your beautiful garden without taking an unintended detour through the flower beds!
Ready to rethink your garden path? We’ve got you covered.

Spotlight on Chagoi Koi
Why Chagoi Koi? These aren’t your everyday fish. Here are the straight facts about what sets Chagoi Koi apart:
- Color: They show off a single, solid color from nose to tail – think shades of brown, tan, or olive. It’s consistency at its best.
- Temperament: Friendly to the core. Chagoi Koi are often the ones to make the first move and don’t mind a bit of hand-feeding.
- Size: Given the right conditions, these koi can grow beyond 36 inches. Big space, right diet, equals big fish.
- Diet: They have appetites that match their size, which helps them bulk up fast and stay healthy.
- Genetics: Thanks to being close kin to the common carp, Chagoi Koi have a growth advantage that’s hard to beat.
- Personality: More than just fish, they’re like pond puppies eager to greet and hang out whenever you’re near.
Whether you’re upgrading your pond or starting fresh, considering adding a Chagoi Koi to your aquatic family. Swing by this weekend and see for yourself why they’re a catch worth considering.

Sarracenia Carnivorous Pitcher Plant
Though thriving in wet, boggy areas, remember, Sarracenia are not your typical aquatic plants. They excel in wetlands but aren’t submerged water-dwellers like water lilies.
Key Needs:
- Consistent moisture with a peat moss and perlite soil mix.
- Mineral-free watering. Use rainwater, distilled, or reverse osmosis water.
- At least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
- They live off insects they trap, so no fertilizer needed.
Temperatures:
- Comfortable between 55-95°F (13-35°C) during the growing season.
- Up to 110°F (43°C) is fine if the soil stays moist.
- Cooler fall and winter temps to trigger dormancy.
Dormancy:
- Lasts 3-5 months with cooler temps and reduced watering.
- Trim browning leaves in spring before new blooms.

Loves the sun or part shade, and it’s a champ in any soil that’s well-drained.
Bonus: it’s super easy to care for and keeps pests and deer at bay.
Perfect for rock gardens, edging, or popping out of container crevices. Get the flow going over walls for eye-catching beauty.
And garden friends love it too—bees and butterflies can’t resist its charm, making your garden a pollinator’s paradise.
