cas's pond

[j.w]

Your pond looks so neat and fresh,not a hair out of place
Always nice when the fish make it through the sometimes rough winters.

Beautiful ! I turned my pump on yesterday and it was quite chilly, always glad when they're all accounted for

Look what I woke up to this morning. Make it stop!!

We too had a light dusting, supposed to be 74 to morrow

You made me go look at what is forecasted for me.... up to 65 and thunderstorms. Glad I got the pump started when I did.

I know, the weather is crazy ! I was worried when I removed the cover, but they seem to be fine

Looking great Cas. At least you have green grass under that snow. Ours is still brown. Waiting for our April showers (not the white cold flakey kind) to bring May flowers.

I Love your pond CAS very tastefully done and well balanced , no volcano , no string of pearls is this your first pond ? I know I'm jealous , why oh why didn't I keep it simple I have a longggggg way to go .

I agree with @GBBUDD , I think @cas nailed it with her pond design and if I ever build an in-ground pond I'll probably strive to keep it simple yet beautiful as well.

Thanks @haver79 for making me feel better. Day time temps in the 30's this week. Way too cold for April!

Thanks @GBBUDD and @ShawnInfirmity . But I have to confess - I have rearranged rocks every year trying to make it feel just right. Each year, I move less and less rocks, but I always find something that needs changed. Here is a picture from 2004 when I built the pond, and one from last year.

Nothing wrong with tweaking things along the way and it seems like you've done a good amount of tweaking in an effort to make your pond more natural and it has resulted in a fine looking pond indeed.

I confess I am a pond tweaker and a rock hoarder, there I feel better already

 

[GBBUDD]

The crews call me rock hoe.
just goes to show what caring and a little finesse can do for a project not to mention how important some soft scaping being plants really is. How both plants in the water and around the pond is critical for a well balanced look. NICE JOB

@cas I love the changes you've made to your waterfall ! We had our pond built and I live in fear something will happen to the waterfall, as it was mortared and has a big granite slab wedged in it.
