Backyard Landscape Design in Auburn, AL with Custom Koi Pond and Water Feature
When life gets hectic, sometimes the best getaway isn’t far away – it’s just outside the back door. That was the vision behind this serene backyard landscape installation in Auburn, Alabama: a private outdoor space designed for rest, reconnection, and a whole lot of “ahhh.”
A Landscape Designed for Peace and Privacy
Tucked in a quiet Auburn neighborhood, this backyard was transformed into a personal retreat. The homeowners wanted a calming environment where they could unwind after a long day and host friends in a setting that felt both inviting and tucked away from the world.
At the heart of the design? A custom koi pond with a gentle running water feature, adding movement, sound, and a peaceful focal point. There’s just something about the sound of trickling water that helps everything else fade away.
Fire and Water: The Best of Both Worlds
We balanced that soothing element with a cozy fire area – because in the South, we use our outdoor spaces year-round. Whether it’s a crisp fall evening or just a cool summer night, the fire zone offers warmth, ambiance, and a natural spot for gathering. It’s the kind of place where conversations linger and s’mores are always a good idea.
Plant-Heavy, Low-Stress Landscaping
This outdoor space features layered landscape plantings, thoughtfully selected for full sun exposure in Zone 8A (we’re looking at you, Auburn summers). By choosing resilient, sun-loving perennials, shrubs, and ornamental grasses, we created a lush yet low-maintenance garden that thrives through the seasons.
The layered design also serves a purpose beyond beauty – it provides privacy, texture, and a sense of enclosure, turning this suburban backyard into a world of its own.
Built for the Way You Live
Whether the homeowners are sipping coffee by the koi pond, catching up with friends around the fire, or just enjoying the breeze and birdsong, this landscape is more than a pretty yard. It’s a livable, lovable, everyday escape – custom built for calm.
