Why add a Waterscape Feature

1. It adds beauty to your backyard. Paradises are beautiful, and they can improve the look of a backyard a thousand percent. We've created waterscape designs in plain, sometimes almost barren backyards. We mean these places were absolute eyesores. However, once we designed a new paradise… they instantly became works of art. We're not sure if we work harder because they were so ugly… or if its just because it was ugly to start off with, but ugly yards often ends up being the most beautiful.

2. It increases the value of your home. It's nice to know that your investment in a waterscape design does not go without a financial reward. We've heard stories of Water Gardens adding $10,000.00 or more to the value of a home. Now, don't hold us to it, because we're no real estate brokers, but our customers have told us their property values increased quite a bit with the new water garden addition.

3. It increases the salability of your home. Now you have to figure that if you fall in love with your paradise, then other people will too. Once again, we have had customers tell us that when they sold their house, the thing that clinched the deal was the paradise and their backyard waterfall. Once, the potential buyer saw the waterscape design, the seller could practically name their price.

4. Makes friends, relatives, and neighbors extremely jealous and green with envy. If you want to be the envy of your friends, relatives or neighbors, just throw a party and let them have a look at the backyard waterfall paradise. You'll not only be the talk of the night, but you could be the talk of the town. Let us tell you what happens soon after your friends, relatives, and neighbors see your paradise. They soon want one for themselves. Now, you can chose to be nice and give them our name (which we much appreciate), or you can be a little stinker and let them squirm. The choice is up to you.

5. It's Easy to maintain. The nicest thing about the waterscapes we build is that they are very easy to maintain. Forget those stories that you may have heard from other people… complaining of the water garden maintenance nightmare… that they have to endure in order to maintain their waterscapes. With our water garden design system, you only have to empty a net… every week or so depending on how many leaves or other debris you have falling in. You will hardly even get your hands dirty.

6. Cuts down on travel cost. No longer do you have to get on a plane to escape to paradise, it's right in your own backyard. So, you don't need to plan any tropical vacation. Of course, there are plenty of other scenic places to vacation. I must warn you, once you get your own little waterscapes paradise… you may just want to vacation at home. Don't say I didn't warn you!

7. You can use it everyday. One of the nicest things about having your very own paradise is that you can use it everyday. Every day becomes something special. Everyday is a chance to get away from it all. Incredibly this creates a new dynamic in relaxation… that we are going to talk about in the next point.

8. Soothes even the most savage beast. Now here's a real interesting fact about spending an extended amount of time in paradise. Several customers have told us that they no longer have problems with anger… since they've been spending time in their paradise everyday. Again, we're just waterscape design artists, not a psychologist… so we're only passing on what our customers have told us. We've heard this fact more than once. One guy told us he was on the brink of having a heart attack before we installed his water garden. He said he had a violent temper and he was always getting mad. Now, he says, he's as calm as a cucumber. Things just don't bother him like they use to. We've also had two other wives tell us the exact same thing. They have noticed a remarkable calmness in their husbands after they started spending time in the waterscape paradises we designed for them.

9. Improves Relationship. We know you're going to be shaking your head at this one, but we're telling you the truth here. We have several customers, and we don't just mean two or three… we're talking at least a dozen… who have told us flat out that their relationship improved after a water garden paradise had been installed in their yard. Yes, we know this sound like a stretch, but here us out. What we have heard is that apparently getting away from TV, the computer, the internet, the satellite dish, and rented movies causes couples to spend time talking and getting to know each other as they sit by their waterscapes.

As a matter of fact, we were laughing with someone else the other day, and we were saying… "There must be magic in those underwater lights". We've just heard too many stories of couples renewing their relationships… once they start spending time in next to their waterscape designs. Now, you take that as you may… but don't be surprised if you don't find you and your spouse doing some moonlight hand holding by your water garden. It has happened more that once.

10. Gets kids out of the house. When we we're growing up, there weren't a lot of temptations to stay in the house. Nowadays kids have so many options that…you can't pry them out of the house with a crowbar. There's TV, computer games, cable, satellite, DVD, you name it. A kid can stay entertained for years in their house now. Except when there's a Water Garden around!. Kids love water and they will be fascinated with your waterscape. We've seen kids fascinated for hours around a Water Garden. Whether its watching the water flow over the waterfalls… or seeing the fish dart about, or watching the turtle stomp around… it's fascinating. Don't be surprised if you're kicking them out of your paradise and sending them into the house.

11. Gives you a place of sanctuary. At the beginning of this special report, we told you about the person coming home and heading for their paradise in the backyard. We tell that story because we have customers that tell me that story all the time. Whereas they use to come home… and plop down on the couch… they now head straight to the backyard. Your paradise is a sanctuary. A place to unwind. A place to relax and call your own. That's a true sanctuary.

12. Saves Time From Cutting The Grass. With your new found waterscape paradise… you'll have more time to enjoy it… because you can say "Good Bye" to some of your lawn mowing time. Because your Water Garden takes up space, there'll be less space for the grass to grow. Less grass means less mowing… which means more time to enjoy your water garden.

13. It's Ecological. For those of you who are big ecology fans… you'll be happy to know that your new place of paradise is… very ecologically friendly. The waterscape designs ecosystem we use is totally balanced and in total harmony with Mother Nature. In fact, that's one of the secrets we use to get the water crystal clear. Because the system is in perfect balance… you don't have to worry about looking into a pea-green soup sludge factory. The system is practically self-cleaning. All you have to do is empty a net, once a week or so. Maybe a little more often depending on how many falling leaves and debris you have. When you work with Mother Nature… and not against her… then maintenance is not a problem. Don't be surprised if you see some birds hanging around your water garden, taking a bath in the backyard waterfall.

14. You can always improve it. We have many customers who constantly improve their waterscape paradises. In fact, a common thing is to build it one size, and then bring us back out again to make it bigger. You see, no matter how much our pond designers try to convince someone that this is paradise… it really is paradise… there's always some skepticism. Then once, they start enjoying it, they want more of it. They allocate more space for it. It gets bigger and bigger. Sometimes, it takes up the whole yard. But, that ok, people are loving every inch of it.

15. It's a good reason to stay home. With the tragedy of 911 and the threat of war all around us, a lot of people are reluctant to travel… especially on an airplane. Well, having your very own waterscape paradise is a good reason to stay at home. Really, if paradise is right there, then why bother to leave. Yes, we know it's not quite the same as Hawaii… but Hawaii is a five hour plane ride from here in California. Your waterscape paradise is right in your own backyard.
