Removing all the rocks and draining the pond was the next step.
Then excavating the dirt…this area will hold the waterfall once we find more rocks.
The ducks waiting patiently…
Shoring up the sides with boards and re bar.
Deciding on the laying and spacing of the cement blocks.
We also covered up any sharp edges with pieces of old liner.
Ready for the liner!
Ready for the liner!
Finally got the liner in…the small area and a huge liner was a bit of a challenge..now we have a pond at least 2 1/2 feet deep.
The next step was putting down the artificial turf, we placed a slight slope here as well to prevent too much run in…
We still have to put the fence greenery up, do the waterfall, and put in the extended water filter system with UV and lay mulch in some areas along with planting.
Filling up the brand new pond!
some plants placed in various places
plants planted,,some decor…still have to find thin slabs of rocks to lay under blocks over the edge to hide pond liner….
This is what it looks like at night, so pretty!
final step was getting the ducks a house for winter or whenever they want to bed down out of the elements
