Very nice, like the stream and the way you have the flagstone all around it.. how deep is it?

Thanks,
The stream is very shallow and the little pond at the base is only 1 foot deep. The main pond is 3 feet at the deepest and has a 24" and 12" shelf.

I LOVE your very private garden and pond! I realize lots of people love 'wide open spaces', but coming from the wind swept plains of western MN I have liked walled or fenced gardens since I was first introduced to the amazing things people in LA and San Diego could do with a tiny walled patch of paradise, where space is such a luxury. The sitting areas, the bridge, the plantings...I like it all! Wish I could figure out how to do that in my yard.

Thanks for sharing, S

Oh, I LOVE that! The whole pier/seaside concept is one of my favorites. The width of the falls is fantastic, the stream under the beautiful bridge...I love what you've done with the place! :)

I agree with Sarah, in that I very much enjoy "cozy" landscaping, even in more expansive areas. Something that invites you to linger there and be a part of the design (the bridge and hammock). All of your plants look really happy, too!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the compliments, I really did get all my ideas from everyone on this forum.
Without all your pics I wouldn't know where to start.

This is what the cats are usually up to

Thanks for all the comments.
I love the pond and fish. My koi still are a little bit timid. It would be nice if I could get them to eat out of my hand.
By the way, does anyone know why the pictures don't come up anymore?

The pics are still showing up fine for me! Maybe the site was down or something when you tried to see them...?

Congratulations! Wonderful design! What size liner did you use? Did you use more that one and if so, how many and how did you overlap? Thanks.
