The following pictures and those on the next page show the results of the efforts of Harvey,
Ricky and the rest of the crew at Mountain View Nursery and Landscaping. In the words of the
owner,
"Once the project started every day was more exciting than the last. Ricky and his crew did a
great job on the patio and fireplace while Harvey and his crew did an amazing job on the
waterfall and stream. Harvey's knowledge of plant materials and use of large scale plants
brought it all together. It is hard to tell what is new and what has always been there. Harvey
had one last surprise for us. He did the most fabulous lighting. It is magical! The up lights on
the trees give a sense of enclosure to the patio and the underwater lights in the waterfall just
sparkle. The entire project turned out more beautiful than we ever imagined."

After designing the landscaping and planting the beautiful flowers and shrubs surrounding
their house and along the entrance to their property, the owner's dream for the remainder of
their property included a constantly flowing stream, an outdoor fireplace and an "outdoor
room" where family and friends could gather by the fireplace on a cool mountain evening or
where the owners could enjoy their morning coffee with nothing but the gentle bubbling noise
of the stream in the background. They shared their dream with Harvey Burniston Jr. and Ricky
Hansen of Mountain View Nursery and Landscaping, LLC. They asked that the landscape
blend into their existing gardens and native plants and trees and that the materials used fit in
with their rustic log home.
The outdoor room is a great place to visit with friends and warm by the fireplace during cool
crisp mountain evenings. The gentle sound of running water produced by the nearby
waterfall and stream provide a soothing background for any occasion
The pictures on the following page show additional features of the property including
shrubs, trees, fences and sod all installed by Mountain View Nursery and Landscaping
.
The large waterfall flows from huge boulders located behind the outdoor room and
fireplace and creates a fast moving stream that wanders beside the outdoor room,
under the foot bridge and continues near the edge of the property. This water feature
is comprised of all natural materials including river rock, large boulders from nearby
mountains and natural aquatic plants. The water runs down the waterfall and through
the stream 24 hours a day and is illuminated during the evening hours with
strategically placed LED lights.
