A private residence in Colleyville - Green Thumb designed & installed a Moss Bouldler - lined creekbed to control the water flow through the back yard. The side walls were given extra-deep concrete footers, and then approximately 80 tons of boulders were masoned into place along the walls. A floor of rip-rap & Moss rock was masoned into place, as well as waterfalls and steps across the creekbed. A 'forest-floor' landscape planting compliments the finished results. What a tranquil setting this back yard has become!

A dynamic mix of flowering ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials will give this homeowner alot of interest throughout the year. An expanded patio will be capped with Oklahoma flagstone for hours of outdoor enjoyment as the golfers and neighbors walk & drive by........
