Step-by-Step Construction of FrontYard 1600g Pond
« on: June 24, 2011, 10:13:30 AM »
Here is my approximately 19x14ft 1600-gallon pond with waterfall near the front walkway of my house.  The deepest part is a little short of 4ft. 

All construction was done by myself and friends with the exception of the 2 extremely large concrete road-dividers that the builder found necessary to bury on my property.  Luckily, the workers were still nearby to remove them - only to bury them next door…a**holes! 

I started it in June 2010 and still not finished - mostly with the bottom rocks and plants. 

Inhabitants:
2 Baby Turtles
5 Comets
4 Shubunkins
1 Butterfly Koi
6 Newts
15+tadpoles
? Frogs

Enjoy!

Beautiful job!!!!!   o( o( o(

You will be amazed at how quickly the plants will fill in. 
It looks like the little guy is enjoying it.  It's so much fun to share nature with little ones.

Your pond is awesome!  I love the bog area, I wish I had one:  there are so many plants that I could put in a bog.... ::)  Looks like you and someone else enjoys spending time there too.  I like the flat rock around it also.  Have you had any problems with keeping your water clear?  Looks so good--thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful design!  Love all the photos of your progress (except the snow/ice on pond kinda scared me  :o ).  Access all around the pond is well planned!   O0
