the landscape. That fits well with thick woods that place a nice backdrop to the rear of the property. Three Japanese maples, a Japanese black pine, two "Ogon" dawn redwoods and a dwarf Norway spruce with its twisting, drooping branch - es were selected as interesting specimens. In all, more than 100 shrubs, flowers and trees were installed. A two-ton mossy boulder was placed in the middle of a center bed in the front yard, providing a great focal point. Hardscapes were also included in the project. Three paver patios offering different vantage points of the pond encompass 350 square feet of space. Bel- gard Dublin Cobble tumbled pavers were selected because of their aged look. A pergola with stone columns was constructed around the center patio. Another patio has a 40-inch diameter natural gas fire pit. Large stepping stones totaling 5.5 tons of rock connect the patios. The landscape comes alive at night with 29 Vista LED uplights and path lights. There are also 10 deck lights. Clark O'Neill with Celtic Outdoor LLC designed and installed the lighting package with input from Hoagland. Eight three-watt submersible Aquascape LED lights were used to illuminate the pond.
