Very cool!  And natural-looking, you know, because in the woods you will see more than one stream flowing down a pathway, or at least a stream that gets divided at some point.

Who comes up with these ideas?  Do your clients know they want this from the start, or do you suggest things like this?

Great design!  The different heights of the two streams are attractive around the mound.  I like the big bird statue.  Are there really frogs in the frog pond?

That's very nice.  Great job, as always.  Very detailed.  Hey Carlos, do you have your boulders delivered or you have your own heavy duty trailer?

Great job Carlos. I noticed that is is a relatively small pond for so much life. Can you tell me the volume of the pond and the pump that was need to get this kind of flow over the falls?

     thanks all --- the pond is right at 960gallons.  The pump that runs the 35feet upt to the top with a  3.5 vertical elevation is a 4000gallon pump.  I am running it on a 2" flex to the bio tank.

----   All of those pallates of rock and hundreds of lbs' of gravel and mortar are delivered on flatbed from the stone place here in town I deal with . ( keller materials )    My truck would be dead long time ago with the amount I have used on my projects  :)
