Our raised pond & decking arrangement

[allgood79]

So we completed our pond late last summer (2017) as part of the garden overhaul and it was fantastic this year - only issue was the algae!! It has changed a bit since these photos were taken, with the addition of a waterfall and removal of the fountain.

Neat idea on incorporating that pond into your deck! Looks beautiful!

Thanks! It took some figuring out but we're happy with the end result - also, we soon discovered that it's at a great height for the dogs to get a drink from the pond without bending down!!

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments (I was a little nervous about posting the photos!), i'm sure that i'm in the same camp as a lot of people on here in that i wish i'd made it bigger!

We never compare! We love ALL ponds! Many people start with a smaller pond or water feature to get their feet wet (haha! Oh I love myself!) and then graduate up to a bigger one as time or money or energy or all of the above allow!

Our first water feature was a pondless waterfall. Then I got a patio pond. Then we built our main pond - and I still love all three!

I think your pond is pretty cool and proportionate to the deck!
