No. 106 Landscaping · Tropical

Rock Waterfall Pond with Wooden Footbridge

A wooden footbridge crosses a stone-edged pond with a small waterfall, surrounded by tropical foliage, tall palms, and a white house with a wide louvered porch.

Design notes

Tropical landscaping stacks canopy palms over broad-leafed shrubs over groundcover, with water and warm stone woven through. In cooler climates, hardy look-alikes deliver the same layered effect.

What to look for

  • Three layers: canopy, shrubs, groundcover
  • How hardscape and planting share the edges
  • Plants suited to the climate, not just the photo
