The construction of one of our ponds




















We installed rebar for the concrete, and electrical and plumbing for the water return and the underground lighting.


The hole had to be pretty deep. So quite a large amount of dirt was removed.
The pot was cemented to the boulder, and a hole drilled through the boulder and the pot.






Next we had to mount a pot on the top of one of the boulders to create a waterfall into the pond.


Now the guys had to dig out all the dirt to create the hole for the pond. Almost like building a swimming pool.






The rough outline of the pond was complete.
The guys had to form a circle of the boulders around the chalked out area, to be the pond.



My crew had to move each boulder to the area where the pond would be constructed.
My customer had a pile of giant limestone boulders in her yard.
