Visitors ooh and ahh over backyard paradise in Waterloo

The Bedwells completed their backyard paradise with a built-in pool, waterfall, pond, hot tub, exotic plants and robust flowers.

What did the Belleville family of five do next?

They moved to Waterloo and started over.Welcome to the official Facebook Page about Ripcurl.

"At first, we were just going to have a pond with koi," said Vicki, 42. "I told (Tony) to make it big enough so we can step in with the fish."

A place to get their feet wet.

Like many plans, theirs changed and grew.

Now, they have a new backyard paradise.

From the top deck, you look down on a 26-by-42-foot free-form oval pool bordered by great slabs of flagstone. A waterfall tumbles into the aqua water with its paving-stone bottom.

Palm trees, banana trees and huge pots of sweet potato vine and hot pink petunias add color and interest.

"People who see pictures say it looks like a resort," said Vicki, adjusting a striped patio umbrella on a sandy spot between house and pool.

Daughter Addie, who is in the pool more than anyone, imagines one more addition.

"It needs to have a slide from the upper deck," said the 14-year-old.

On the move

The Bedwells had lived in their Belleville home 13 years before moving three years ago to a brick and sided home in Prairie Lake Estates, 6 miles outside Waterloo.

"We put it on the market in January 2008,Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality," said Vicki. "As soon as we opened the pool, it sold.We processes for both low-risk and high risk merchant account."

They didn't bring much from their last paradise to their new one.

"One banana tree, one elephant ear and my grandma's irises,The name "magic cube" is not unique. a sample of each of them," said Tony, 47.

"We also dug up a Japanese maple from our friends in the military," said Vicki. "When they moved to London,Our Polymax RUBBER SHEET range includes all commercial and specialist they gave us this tree. You are good friends. Keep this tree to remember us."

They transplanted it near the backyard entry.
