Heir Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hey ya'll! Finished the pond last weekend, finally took some snaps! 3 weekends of work! Most of the rocks were there so we had to move them out, then dig the pond, add the lining and put the rocks back. (thank god it doesn't leak I really don't want to re-live that experience again!) It looks bigger than the pics. Home to my 8 goldfish and I'm currently growing some tadpoles out back and when they're frogs I will add them and hope they stay.

N1CK Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 awesome , you should stick some natives in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 wow, that is AWESOME!!! Some serious rocks there ...tell me about it... We had to hire a hand truck to move them because my dad wouldn't bring his mini-digger up... Was still a mission! But well worth it and the goldfish are much more happy in there than the 100L bucket they've been in since we moved here a few months back!

Heir Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 awesome , you should stick some natives in there Was considering that but no room left. Don't want it too over-crowded. Plus it's situated in full sun. Those rocks get quite warm, the water doesn't get super warm, but too warm for natives I would imagine.

Heir Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 this is very amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good work !!! does it cost a lot to create a pond like this? Hmmm about $1500 :roll: plus plants, plus my fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 From memory ours cost $15,000 (but that included landscaping the whole front yard, installing an automatic sprinkler system, and replacing the verandah that runs the full length of the house and has 2 levels :roll: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ouch, Caryl. Not too surprising from the scope though! That pond is gorgeous Heir, might keep that kind of look in mind if I ever make one for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
