Who else thinks adding an outdoor aquarium to the garden and a pine pergola over it . What's your garden design?

Home/ garden remodeling for festivities


I live in a duplex apt with barely any yard which is maintained by the owner/manager.

I do decorate my interior when having a movie marathon or entertaining guests.
Usually based on a theme.

I always wanted to build a backyard theater where I could project movies and music videos onto a large screen.
There would need to be a firepit and an outdoor kitchen and since money is never a problem with dreaming I could go flat-out crazy inventive.

I'd use ideas such as the outdoor kitchens as the starting baseline



Then I would add an outdoor theater with seating



with a firepit as well

I made all kinds of different corners in my garden :)

- A walkable Spiral of Archimedes (4 meters diameter)
- small but cute rose garden with scented roses & a rose arch in it
- Japanese section with bamboo & miniature rose & my Quan Yin statue. Larger chunks of rose quartz around her.
- Yin Yang symbol of 2,5 meters diameter
- Mediterranean section with a 1.65 tall Venus of Milo statue. It has a waterfall and a tiny stream that ends in a very small pond to add the sweet sound of water.
- Another Japanese section where I sit with my fire pit. Has a beautiful Buddha statue
- Fairy garden with an Oberon (real) tree trunk, gnomes, fairy doors etc. My favourite piece of the garden.
- close to my house a Pagan section with Mother Earth laying on the Earth (she's made of earth and overgrown with moss )

I live in a small 2 bedroom apartment.
but,, at my boss's house I built a large cascading waterfall in the back corner of his back yard, that feeds a 3 foot deep coy pond, then added a shale rock retaining wall 3 feet out from it as a planter (also to hide the top skimmer inlet for the recycling pump) and a paver stone patio for him and his wife to sit and relax while listening to it.
