This year my parents have spent a crap load on the house, granit, wood floors, paint, windows, just a tun of $ so before i move out i decided to help them with the outside, so the pond was made bigger and i landscaped the whole yard after we tore the pool out. Ps: I used to do this for a living. ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping002.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping002.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping003.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping003.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping004.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping004.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping005.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping005.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping007.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping007.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping008.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping008.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping009.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping009.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping012.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping012.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping013.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping013.jpg) ![http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping011.jpg](http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/nelnova/landscaping011.jpg) ---

That’s neat. Not the biggest yard but you did good with the space provided. How much of a pain is it to maintain those ponds? ---
