Overview
Pond is approximately 15' x 12', deepest point around 4 feet. Originally had 2 waterfalls. The smaller waterfall was taken off a few years back, and last year added a small "frog pond" next to the original pond. Water level of that one is about a foot higher than original pond.
Planning and Construction
Wish I had photos of the construction phase. It was dug with a shovel, working mostly evenings after work during summer months.
Fish / Plant Stock
Over the years, have had a number of good size koi in addition to lots of little goldfish. One year we even had a small migrant turtle with a red dot on its head. Lost my biggest koi (a beautiful gold colored fantail) to a blue heron in 2010. Quite traumatic to my wife and granddaughter, who walked out in the backyard while he was stabbing it on the ground.
