Let's make it green!

Adding plants around the perimeter All planted. Now grow!

The waterfall

Image
Here are the rocks all laid out. I still need to add the liner so numbering the rocks with chalk will help when I put them back. The rockwork is complete!

The rock-work begins

Image
We put down a layer of bricks with mortar and then added a row of rocks, keeping the liner behind it all.

Fill 'er up!

Image
Underlay Liner Water

The Dig

Image
Using a laser level keeps things, um ... level See? Ready for liner!

Cutting out the lower pond

Image
Is this big enough? Nope ... this looks better!

Leveling and filling the upper pond

Image
For the top pond, we used a pre-formed liner since it had the lip built in already.

Digging the hole for the upper pond

The plan: Two ponds. One small one, then a waterfall and a larger pond below.

Our Second Pond

After moving to our first house we decided that we'd like another pond. This time we went a bit bigger. It started with a rock wall.
