Monte Vista Makeover

In the fall of 2019 we remodeled this pond by eliminating lots of unnecessary rocks, bringing the pathway down to just above water level, and planting lots of California native plants.

“We had Verne and his crew update our koi ponds last fall. They took out the ugly rock below the pond and built retaining walls & planting areas. …they removed more rock so that the walkway is just above the water surface. They brought in native plants from Verne’s nursery and planted them around and in the pond and waterfall. Now that it’s spring, the plants have all leafed out and are growing well. The pond area looks much more natural and we’re very happy with the results. We plan to use Verne this year to landscape and plant other areas of our yard.”
