This is where it all started, the house I grew up in on Long Island. This exclusive Asian style

yard has 6 specatular water features and is a unique one of a kind backyard paradise. 

   The yard has ponds, streams, pondless waterfalls, bubble rocks, a bridge, an asian

tea house, a trellis and a fire pit. The yard is illuminated with a low voltage lighting system.

There are aqautic lights in the water features and lantern lights along the pathways and in

the landscape areas. Tree lighting is aimed downwards on specific areas in the yard.

    There is a large variety of beautiful landscape plantings and specimen trees through out the

yard. A lot of thought in designing and endless effort has developed this oridinary average yard

into a Pond Paradise. 

    This yard was hand crafted by Rob Riccardo and greatly influenced by my dad, friend, mentor 

and hero Rick Riccardo. Who always believed in me and encouraged me to become 

one of the top waterfeature specialists on Long Island, NY.
