~Neglected NIGHTMARE of a pond- with a face lift ! (pics)
« on: October 14, 2007, 09:16:25 AM »
 
Poor Jesse and Carmen came to me wishing their once beautiful koi pond could look something good again.  The rocks were falling in, mortar cracking,.. waterfall dissapearing though the cracks,.dangerous breaking off slate stone trim, pond level down to almost nothing with leaks, no filtration, pump not working...etc

WHEWWWW !!!
 Couple days of detailed attention to get this one back on track... but with a fresh new batch of corrective mortar, a palate of beautiful peach-sunrise flagstone.. and a improvement on the waterfall--- things are shaping up !





(still filling)


**** Installed one 25watt  underwater light on photocell in this pond.  WOW !!! The play on the large limestone cliff to the back is AMAZING !! I might be over there this week to check on a sick fish... I'll try and remember the camera.

Carlos, was wondering where you'd gotten to. Glad to see you're still making and improving ponds. Good job.
