THE BEGINNING




I am starting a Koi Pond in my backyard!
I meant to take photos before I started digging but I got waaay too excited and forgot all about it. My first design looked nothing like this. I was going to have an 8 by 12 rectangle built up 2 feet above ground and 3 feet below ground but my design changed completely.

I completed the hard part (digging) and now I am working on the waterfall. The basic idea is to create a wall and "marsh" area for the waterfall. The water will be pumped up from the bottom pond, and will filter through rocks/plants in the above marsh that you will see in future photos. The cinder blocks will be covered by rocks and it will look very natural. Stay tuned for more.
