Vanishing-Edge Pond

This pond is a cost-effective alternative to the infinity pool. "The homeowner wanted to capture the views without the expense of a vanishing-edge swimming pool," says landscape designer Scott Cohen. "The solution was to build a vanishing-edge pond with a bridge that crosses over to a patio. The cascading fall into the spa from under the bridge appears to be spilling over from the pond."

This multi-tiered fountain was added to a yard designed for an active sports-minded family. Included in the makeover were a putting green, a kids' play zone and a bocce-ball area.
