a
P.R. Landscape Co. has been designing and building ponds
and waterfalls in the Denver Metro area for more than 20
years. Owners Paul & Rose Swenby are dedicated to creating water
gardens that provide many years of enjoyment. Since building
their first pond, Paul & Rose have been very active in the water
gardening community; as members of the Colorado Water Garden Society
and teachers at Denver Botanic Gardens, their goal has been to
further the hobby of water gardening. Avid water gardeners
themselves, they know first hand the benefits of a back yard
pond.
Paul's first experience in gardening was as an apprentice in
a Japanese landscape company in Kyoto, Japan. This opportunity
shaped his future goals; inspiring him to graduate from the University
of Oregon with a degree in Landscape Architecture.
After moving
to Colorado in 1983 Paul realized that his real enjoyment came from
building as well as designing gardens. Recognizing what a dynamic
element water is in a garden, Paul focused on ponds as a way to satisfy
his creativity and desire to contribute to the environment in a positive
way.
