Pond done

Except for a few cosmetic improvements the pond rebuild is done. I included before and after pics.

very very well done, good job i really like the falls...just wondering..is the calla lily growing in the pond or near the pond?

 

[addy1]

great job!

Love the falls, all the rock work

The calla lilies are in the pond. There are small pockets between the rocks and the bulb sits right at the water level or maybe just below, the roots are in the water. Not sure if I will try to keep them there or move them out of the pond. I made sure where they sit the fish can't get to them. I still need plants for in the pond.

Very nice..looks so relaxing.

Yes Addy, LOTS and lots of rocks. Many are local, some are bought, some I had laying around the yard from a project a year ago. LOL the falls were built and rebuilt, lost sleep while trying to figure out how to make it work, pretty much standing on my head looking underneath for the little leaks, using a fingernail file and sandpaper to scrape off waterfall foam from the finger tips and hands (I wore gloves) and how it got on my elbow I will never know.

Here is a pic of the back of the pond. I have to put in a couple more plants then wait for them to mature and spread.

Sweet! Your pond is lookin good! I know all to well about that darn foam..ugh had fun with that stuff myself...and my hands are still recovering from all the rocks they moved and placed! Great job!

Thanks everyone. Don't know when I will do another one. I had one person at school tell me they will hire me to do one for them. I designed and built the waterfall. My husband said he wished he could help but he has no idea how to do it. I laughed and said neither do I, I am making this up as I go. LOL Look at pics, watch videos, talk to people on this forum, read books, and if possible check out other waterfalls at businesses, parks, where ever to get examples. Then be prepared to change your mind at every step you take.

 

[rebelangel_3733]

lol I can relate to all of that...changed my mind every step I made progress with in building mine but I like it and thats what counts!

A year later with plants maturing and new ones added.

Also pics of my friendly fish. My bekko butterfly likes to swim over your hand and suck on your fingers.

Your pond looks great and you have some nice big koi there and they come right to you. Funny how they suck on your fingers!
