I would like to cover my back yard with a rock garden or with some kind of stone, and also have a pond or fountain somewhere in the mix. Any ideas, websites, photos, suggestions? Thank you.

Go to Home depot, they have classes, and advise ! Its easy !
I believe truly it is wise to hire a proffessional landscape disigner. And go over the ideas with them. There is alot of technical stuff that has to be worked out. Also make sure that the installer is good at what they do. Look at some of there past work.
ok i will tell you how to this a real easy way …
first you need to decide how much area you want to cover and how deep when you do this you can go to a lumber yard or hardware store and buy treated 4×4 or 6×6 yard timbers (that is the correct name for the wood you need) line the outside of your area with the wood and then depending on what kind of rock or stone you want you can go to a gravel pit or nursery and buy stone or pea gravel and fill the surround with the stone or such then after you get all the gravel level and where you want it you can decide on spots you want to plant things move the gravel to the side dig your hole and plant when the plant is in the ground you can recover the area with the gravel you moved now if you want a pond or little pool take a piece of paper and draw your area and figure where you want it and then you can go to a hardware store and get a can of yard spray paint or marking paint go to your spot you picked out and outline it with the paint get a shovel and start digging when you have finished you can go ack to a hardware store and buy a goldfish pond pump or a waterfall pump it comes with instructions and simpley install it yourself you shouldnt have any trouble
