The backyard pond was long overdo for a makeover so over the last month it finally received one.
Tearing out retaining wall.
Laying out liner for new stream and siting the filters.
Tweaking liner.
Digging hole for skimmer. Amazingly, I hit very few tree roots.
Buried treasure. I wonder how many years this lay a foot underground?
Test run on filter.
Checking flow.
Added a fallen limb for the birds.
Adding smaller stones to create bird friendly areas.
Cleared out the rubble, added compost berms, and plants.
Almost finished stream.
I want to find a few more nice large rocks, and there is still a bit of finsh work to be done, but the goal of this project was to make the pond more wildlife friendly and I think the following pictures show that has been achieved.
