Newell Nurseries
34017 Yucaipa Blvd.
Yucaipa, California 92399
 Waterscape Feature One: On June 4, 2005, we built this pond during a community Pond Construction Seminar. The special pond event was significant for our organization, Exotic Aquatics and The Pond Diggers because it marked our five-year anniversary of presenting these Pond Construction Seminars, that are open to the public. Our inaugural Pond Construction Seminar was conducted at Newell Nurseries in 2000. That original waterscape was dismantled when the nursery's parking lot was enlarged. The new 10 x 14 pond features a double-wide waterfall with an 8í stream, and is located adjacent to the Newellís new English-style greenhouse. Newell Nurseries feature 4.5 acres of acclimatized nursery stock, plus distinctive giftware.
Pondless Feature Two: This cute disappearing pondless waterfall is on a completely flat grade butted up next to a greenhouse. With only a small 16 inch tall waterfall it give the effect of a living stream rather than waterfalls. This waterscape proves you donít need a tall waterfall to have the impact that sound of water has to offer. This disappearing pondless waterfall is also from the fruits of labor provided by the community in the form of a Pond Construction Seminar. If you are in need of pond design ideas, examples of what a disappearing pondless waterfall for your backyard waterfall could be like, a wide variety of landscape plants and a gift for your wife, you can find it all at Newell Nurseries in Yucaipa, California.
Leroy's Landscape
32423 Yucaipa Blvd.
Yucaipa, California 92399
This waterscape was originally a Pond Construction Seminar built in 2003. Look for the pond's multiple falls, which were designed to be visible from Yucaipa Boulevard. This waterfall was redesigned (possibly an understatement) in an Advanced Waterfall Construction Seminar early in 2004. 6' tall and 6' wide, need we say more? Drive by in the evening for a nice visual display of fiber optic lighting and nightscape lighting.
Additionally, we installed a disappearing pondless waterfall that gives the illusion that another waterfall spills out of the original pond and works its way throught the landscape and disappears just before the sidewalk. This pondless waterscape practically runs onto Yucaipa Boulevard. Of course since this is a landscape service company, these waterscapes and landscape is usually splashed with colorful annual flowers.

This disappearing pondless waterfall was installed in the summer of 2006. The landscaping has yet to mature but you will obviously be able to keep you eyes on this feature through out the year since it is located right on Outer Hwy 10. This waterfall is approximately two and a half to three feet tall and three feet wide. The stream on this waterscape is twenty feet long, with 4500 gallons per hour crashing over a final cascade into the pondless basin at the driveway entrance to Stone Solutions. Any closer to the street and your car would get wet!
Stop in to check out the amazing selection of granite while you are there. Stone Solutions specializes in custom countertops made of the most amazing granite slaps you have ever seen.
San Bernardino County Museum
2024 Orange Tree Ln
Redlands, California 92374
This pond has a special place in my heart because when I first dove into building ponds exclusively I toured the Museum and saw a sign that said, "Future location for our pond". The sign was in front of the Discovery Hall, now named The Exploratory Center, and had obviously been there for a long time. When I enquired about the sign no one even knew what I was talking about!
It was apparent to me they need my help. I then decided to donate the water feature to the museum as a way to give back to my community. We built them a 10' x 14' pond with a small waterfall that sets the entry to the Exploratory Center off! Stop by and visit the water feature and see what other exciting things the San Bernardino County Museum has to offer.
Century 21 Lois Lauer Reality
1998 Orange Tree Lane
Redlands, California 92374
This disappearing pondless waterfall was built in a Pond Construction Seminar on November 12th, 2005. We had a good turn out that day and built this great waterscape in only five hours! This pondless feature has a 2 foot tall waterfall and a 20 foot long meandering stream that disappears just before the side walk.
Whether you are looking for a residential or commercial property, Lois Lauer Reality is a fantastic resource to turn to.

University of Redlands
The LaFourcade Garden
1200 E. Colton Ave.
Redlands, California 92374
 This 11 x 16 pond with a 50 foot long stream, believe it or not, was built in one day at a Pond Construction Seminar in early 2004. The Pond Construction Seminar was a kick off point for this once lost location on campus. Weeds once ruled this area and now as you can see for yourself, it is a park-like setting established for events with decomposed granite pathways, vegetable gardens and groomed flowerbeds and lawn.
"The LaFourcade Garden offers students, faculty and community members a quiet place to gather," said Tony Mueller, director of Community Service Learning. It's named in honor of Ron LaFourcade, who passed away last year and whose family includes several Redlands alumni.

This water feature consists of four rock column fountains flanking a center waterfall that drops down to another waterfall created by a giant mountain driftwood log. The feature is a harmonious blend between manmade basalt columns and natural boulders. 12,000 gallons of water flows off this water feature filling the outdoor area with a brilliant healing audio effect. The PossAbilities program incorporates water features to create a healing environement for their patients.
RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA - POND TOUR LOCATIONS
Jurupa Mountain Cultural Center
7621 Granite Hill Dr.
Riverside, California 92509
In May of 2003 during the annual Green Faire Exotic Aquatics and The Pond Diggers hosted a Pond Construction Seminar at the Jurupa Mountain Cultural Center. What turned out was a wonderful waterfall that spills into an upper catch basin, than turns and meanders down a small stream that flows into an 11' x 16' waterscape that is populated with a healthy population of goldfish, turtles, and aquatic plants. Each spring cleaning the pond has to be timed perfectly because a group of local tree frogs and spade foot toads use this waterscape as a breeding ground and lay literally hundreds of thousands of tadpoles in our little ecosystem.
Located in the extreme heat of Southern California, this waterscape is the focal point for both sight and sound, next to the Jurupa Mountain Cultural Centers Cactus and Succulant Nursery. You literally can find dozens of different exotic plants that you have never seen before. If you are a fan of rare succulants and cactus plants AND are interested in a backyard waterfall or unique pond design, then this is just the pond tour stop for you.
Sims Tree Learning Center
111 Appaloosa Ave.
Pedley, California 92346
 This is a wonderful place to stop on the 365 Pond Tour. Not only will you find two ponds on this property, but you will also see several different amazing gardens, rare palms, cycads, fruit trees and even draft horses. Sims Tree Learning Center is open Monday through Friday but is a private business so I recommend that you call ahead of time to be sure they are taking visitors. Sims Tree Learning Center hosts several horticulture events each year and has an specific Open Gardens each month where they are open all day and open to the public.
Waterscape Feature One: This waterscape is a small Tranquility Pond that is no bigger that a 5' x 7' with a small hillside stream that delivers lots of sound for the offices that are close by. This small pond houses some cute goldfish, is located in a heavily shadded area surrounded by palms, ferns, bromeliads and other exotic plants.
Waterscape Feature Two: This is an 11' x 16' pond with a small meandering stream that is in a conservatory greenhouse setting. You will be introduced to a wide variety of exotic plants that you will not find anywhere else locally. Just recently we returned for a photo shoot and we were amazed by the many varieties of orchids and other exotics. Just imagine taros six feet across, a tropical water lily that covers the entire waterscape, tropical humidity and flowering orchids greeting you while you step across the treshold from Riverside into a tropical paradise!
