Nice work everyone. I'm always torn with the use of water in the landscape. I think labeling it natural looking or man made gets us in trouble. Its all about the design and placement of each element. That's the first step in pulling it off. There is balance and symmetry to this feature that suggests man made. The surrounding architecture and space available demands that. As you show us the look of a more natural feature is with the materials. Labeling it man made or natural is only a debate that takes away from a job well done. Very Cool!!! Craig

Thankyou so much for your ideas and the pictures. I really like the style of the first photo and while we aren't quite that luxe or extravagant, it was a picture like this that first inspired my initial ideas of a gold (type) feature wall. Unfortunately, it appears metallics are harder to source and even harder to DIY. I was informed I would probably neeed to pay a professional. We tossed around wallpaper but dismissed it quite early. Maybe i need to revisit it further. Thankyou again!

Hi Julieo11, Great spot for your water feature, I would keep the planting low as the water feature is the ‘feature’ , use different stones and pavers to add interest, giant, dwarf mondo plus black mondo would look fabulous, liriope, lomandra would keep it looking quite structured, this would compliment existing paving
