Using this site
Short version: the photos and project write ups here are ours, each one describes a single job on a single property, and sending us a message does not start a contract.
Last updated September 7, 2026
Ownership
The photographs, project write ups and other writing on this site belong to JVI Secret Gardens, or to the customers who let us photograph the ponds and gardens we built for them. Please ask before reusing any of it.
Project descriptions are not advice
Every job we show was built on one property, with its own ground, water, light and access. It is not a plan for yours. Pond size, liner, pumps, grading and planting all depend on what we find when we walk your site with you.
Figures and outcomes
Sizes, timings and plant choices on this site describe the job we actually did. We report them honestly, and they are not a promise that a different garden will behave the same way. Plants are living things, and weather, water and care all change how they do.
Enquiries
Sending us a message or asking for a price does not create a contract. Work starts once we have agreed the scope and the cost with you in writing.
Questions
Anything unclear, write to jvisecretgardens@gmail.com or call us at (615) 871-7338.
