Nice job!! It looks like you really worked hard on it. However i would recommend cutting away or burrying some of that extra liner thats sticking out. Also you should plant a bunch of plants around the pond to soften the edges to give it a more natural look.

Looks like it is coming along beautifully. It's alot of work but very satisfying wouldn't you say? Can't wait to see it complete and maturing.

You just gave me the lift I needed to get me through the doldrums of the rest of this winter. What an inspiration? Your pond is beautiful. So are your fish. You will find that it improves with age. Everytime I see someone's completed pond I want to make another one. lol. Great job!!!

RE: Pic's of my Pond build

Thanks everyone for the nice comments,these pic's are a bit older & since have cut back the liner & re-planted a bunch of the Hostas. Added lights etc.Yes a lot of work as you all know especially getting all the rocks & placing them. Had Koi Babies this past year & have @ 50 down in the basement tank for the winter so that is keeping me going.Will need to trade or give away so I don't overload the pond.I'm always in search of the right rocks & will most likely re-do the waterfall this spring. I believe I'm in the area of 2200gal,Skimmer, bottom drain, vortex filter, Sequence external pump & home-made skippy filter with savio springflo etc. Will post more this summer. Thanks again everyone, Ed
