Ahhh, David, what a lot of work you've done. And it all looks great. Now that your place is perfect do you want to come fix mine up? It is a disaster. LOL I'll build you a skippy filter to help clear up your water.

Question: in the 3rd picture - what are the white things shooting up into the air? Do you have lots of little ghosts floating around?

Wow. Looking out at your gorgeous pond and garden and seeing a backdrop of trees and sky instead of neighbor's houses and cars. So wonderful. Nice collection of conifers too.

I bet it's taken a lot of work to make your landscaping so restful, lol. And a lovely collection of conifers too. Well done.

Your yard is absolutely gorgeous!! I hope some day to have a yard as beautiful as yours. Our pond is only about 1000 gallons but we're hoping to expand on it. We have a firepit but would like to build some seating around it too. Was that difficult to do? Any advice?

You should be proud! You have an amazing space!

It was not difficult.
Put a stake in the middle of your fire place put a string on the stake make the string as long as you want the seat to be away from fire pit. Put a spray can of paint on the end and draw a ark then dig a footing 4in. deep pore a cement base.
I layed the seat up with field stone fill the center with stone and mortor.
