"Patio to Pond"
Wellesley, MA
Re-use of materials is exemplified in this project in Wellesley as the stones used for the patio came from the excavation of the house. Near the waterfall, the large piece of ledge was exposed to make the pond look like a more natural element of the landscape. The pond has aquatic plants growing in it that create habitat for beneficial insects such as dragonflies and has the potential to produce edible water plants as well.
