We recently installed this rainwater collection system and hammock trellis for Bradley and Jennifer Linscomb in Allandale. The large rainwater collection tanks fit well into his backyard design (You almost don't notice them at first!).

Our client is experimenting with an innovative system called aquaponics. Aquaponic systems create a symbiotic relationship between plants and fish. The fish fertilize the water used to irrigate the crops, which are planted in hydroponic grow media. The water filters through the planter boxes where it is oxygenated and freshened before being returned to the fish. Then as the fish (usually tilapia) grow, you get to eat them too.

The picture below shows the creative way he integrated the work of a local artist,
Michael O'Brien. Mike travels around Texas taking imprints of dinosaur tracks. The recycled water in the system pours over the imprint of an ancient Acrocanthosaurus foot. The Acrocanthosaurus is about 112 million years old, and is an ancestor of the T-rex.

The backyard oasis is complete with a chicken coup filled with some healthy looking chickens which my son was happy to pet!
Wow! It’s so beautifully installed that you wouldn’t think there’s a rainwater collection system there. This design is perfect for houses with huge gardens.
