Y'all did a great job! I wish I had your soil.

good job ! Very nice.

Looks Great! You did a nice job!

I like your falls.

Great slideshow. Your pond is beautiful. Now you need to make it bigger--you still have plenty of yard left. ;^)

Nice GSD, too!

Really nice waterfall! Bet it sounds wonderful.
Is that your soil??? What is it made up of? Is that the kind of soil that Florida is mostly made up of?
What's the name of the rock you used for your waterfall?

You're going to enjoy it so much! Great job!

Wonderful pond, now your adventures will begin. Enjoy!

Catherinet look at my post "New and Hopefully Improved Pond" I too am in Florida and we have very rock hard clay in a lot of the land that we own. To answer your question; You can see that Florida doesn't have that kind of soil only. Glenda

Hi:

great pond !

how large is it ? do you have a filter. We are going to get a 8'x6' pond built and was wondering if we need a filtration system. It will not be a koi pond. maybe goldfish and a pond turtle mostly plants.

The pond is 8 X 10 X 3 and we used 1 piece of 45 mil liner 20 X 25 for the job. There is no bottom drain or skimmer box; however I do plan to add a skimmer box this summer so we left enough liner for this to be done with relative ease. We used 2300 lbs of stone, not sure what they call it but IÂll look into it. The pump is from a Home Depot kit 1200 gph, came with the waterfall box, and a small liner. We will likely replace the pump with a larger one at some point in time but for now we are content with what we have. The whole pond thing is all new to me so your feedback good or bad is greatly appreciated.

Any suggestions on a new pump? Skimmer box? Can I get 1 pump to operate the Skimmer box and falls? Lights?

Lights? - I got a submerged light for 7.95 + shipping from Harbor Freight - love it! They sell them all over now. Point it up from the bottom of the pond into the falls and it flickers on the wall behind it. Couple solar lights in the plantings around it and you've got it made...ahhhh peaceful.

If you don't have a Harbour Freight in Tampa and want the lights now, there is a store up here in Ocala.

Happy ponding,
Scott
