    Front Yard Ponds
    Hey Douglas,
    I currently have a small 5ft (ish) be just over 3ft, 1.5-2 ft deep pond in north carolina. I'm really wanting to expand it. But in my front yard, if I'm not digging and building up, do you have recommendations that are sturdy, recommended and not top crazy expensive. I'm...

I found some flat rocks and arranged them to create an adequate waterfall. Hopefully I can rip this stuff out in the future in case I find something better.

Some friends bought us a lily as a pond-warming gift. The frogs seem to like it.

We added a couple of gold fish to start, then a couple of small koi, and then a bunch more goldfish. I don't want to invest too much yet in case they don't make it through the winter.

Originally I thought I could avoid the typical rock-lined pond look, but soon realized it was just going to be impossible to maintain the pond edge without them. I found a place that delivered a cheap rip-rap mix, but had to do a lot of sorting.

The falls are pretty well coated with algae now, which I think actually makes the water run faster and fall nicer.

The gradual drop from shallow to deep makes for easy access, but also has a nice natural feel to it as well. The kids like wading and looking at frogs.
