A Remarkable Water Garden Transformation for this Suburban Backyard

I dream of the day that my husband and I own a house in the woods, but that’s pretty far off…so for now I’ll just swoon over all the gorgeous photos I see online. I found this incredible backyard makeover over at Aquascape Your Landscape which is maintained by their marketing communications manager, Jennifer. For this particular project, she mentions that the homeowners of this quiet suburban home spent years touring home garden ponds while planning their very own backyard oasis.

A brown house with a bare suburban backyard, outlined with red and green markers on the ground. A large green arrow labeled "Before" points to the scene. Trees surround the area, hinting at a remarkable transformation yet to unfold.
Before the transformation – a suburban backyard with a blank slate. The makeover creates a cozy outdoor retreat with a mix of greenery, patio furniture, and an impressive water feature to enhance the peaceful ambiance.

Judging by the photo below, their patience certainly paid off!

A transformed suburban backyard showcases a pond with rocks and plants, leading to a patio adorned with white chairs, all against the backdrop of a charming house. Lush greenery envelops the scene, beautifully labeled "After" in the bottom left corner.
After: A suburban house backyard typically features a well-manicured lawn, landscaping with flowers and shrubs, a patio or deck for outdoor entertaining, and possibly a small vegetable or herb garden but this one is something else entirely. The whole thing is filled with cascading water, interesting plants, and adventurous pathways. There is enough to entertain adults and kids for hours.

As you can see, this was a huge project! The homeowners wanted a space where their guests could spend hours exploring and discovering new things, and I’m pretty sure that they batted that one out of the park.

A beautiful pond fills the area just beside a patio for friends to gather around a fire, and the variety of plants and stones goes on and on. Here’s another photo to give you a better idea of what the area looks like from another angle:

Such a serene and inviting backyard- I don’t know that I’d ever leave on vacation if I lived there myself! I especially love how seamless it all feels- the rocks and plants blend together so perfectly. It’s a pretty awesome makeover, don’t you think? Yeah….me too. -erin
