We would like to put a dry river bed in our landscaping in our back yard. It will be decorative and also help with drainage. I have done some research on them and they don't seem to difficult to do has anyone done this and has anyone got pictures of theirs. Thanks

Love the idea of a dry bed in the back yard.
We just moved in May and our house, although it is 11 years old, is tree-less and gardenless (!?)
I am excited to begin creating and designing our own little slice of heaven on earth :bliss::bliss::bliss: (heh tried to catch the little guy, not realizing they were all showing up)
I would definitely put in a bridge as well. It really adds to the overall effect.

So, Jeep- did you end up initiating this project?
How did it turn out?

Anrol....Thanks for the inspiration pics. We are also in the planning process for some backyard landscaping and these pics will come in very handy!!

I'm glad you liked the pics. We had to redo around the front of our home this year and we kind of made it up as we went along. We used a lot of river rock and we have some armour stone. I will have to take some pics. Still a WIP!

I found a couple more, Jeep. The bridges are a neat idea. I saw this done over a dry bed years ago and always thought that I would like to incorporate it in my own yard someday.
