LC/DBM July 2013 Table of Contents

On the cover:
Not a typical project for a landscape contractor, this fountain in Centennial, Colo., was built and installed from the ground up by Colorado Hardscapes, which sees great opportunity in this area of work.

Features

A Constructive Obstruction
Called in to fix a leaky water feature at a residence in South Barrington, Ill., the contractor, JJ Hayden, Inc., uncovered a major problem unrelated to the first. Instead of bringing the project to a standstill, this obstacle led John Hayden and the homeowners in a different, yet positive, direction.

Perks and Recreation
An industrial firm in Merrillville, Ind., wanted to turn a piece of their unused property into a green space that their employees could enjoy on their breaks. Smalls Landscaping obliged, creating an award-winning installation that features a pond for fishing, many walking paths and a good-sized waterfall.

Heat's Relief
Our tribute to pools, one of summer's top pleasures. Homes in Lafayette, La., Orange Hills, Calif., and Potomac, Md., welcome us into their backyards.

Open Flow
In a nature-rich park, the pond, stream, and waterfalls had lost their vigor so the city asked Ross NW Watergardens to re-energize them.

Uncommonly Built
The Streets at SouthGlenn Commons, a Denver-area shopping/dining/working/living district, assigned the build of their fountain to a landscape contracting company; Colorado Hardscapes.
