So I've been on the forums for awhile and my pond has been in for months, but I never actually made a topic showing the process of the project, so here it is:
Here is the "before" photo:
We then began the project by putting up a new fence, taking an old fence down, and removing grass:
Then I began the process of digging, laying in the liner, and filling with water:
I then added a small stream and laid bricks around the pond:
I laid mulch, added rocks and plants along the stream, along with a branch:
After awhile we decided to expand the area:
After expanding the area I decided that I needed to redo the stream, so I made it a little deeper and wider (I'm not completely done with this yet. I still need to get more rocks to hide the liner, then lay mulch in the newly expanded area):
...and the project continues...
We currently plan on changing out the bricks around the pond with flagstone. I also hope to add more plants in and around the pond over time, and we may even possibly make the pond bigger next spring.
