My pond is 3,000 gallons. Home to 13 comets, 2 catfish and various snakes, frogs, salamanders and a few trap door snails. There are a multitude of plants including water lily, iris, sweet flag and others. I love my pond but have to admit that fall is my least favorite time. Oh those leaves!!! Here is a picture.

hello what a lovely pond ...but i can see why you might not like the fall :banghead3:
The tree is a Sassafras and was there for at least 20 years before we built the pond. Sassafras have a very long tap root and not many lateral roots so I don't think we'll ever have a problem. We didn't encounter any roots from that tree when we had the pond built.
VeryVery Nice pond!!!
How long has it being going?
Where you from?
What is that ground covers name thats in the middle of the 2 streams?

Very well done, I love the island idea, first one I have seen so far.
To Smirf 1405, I live in the town of Staatsburg in NY state, USA. And to DRDAVE, the island came about because that was the only way to save the Sassafras tree in the middle. The 'ground cover' is actually many different kinds of Hosta.
Very nice pond !! I would love to see more pictures.
