It has been a while since I have been on this board. Mainly because the new house did not have a pond. Moreover the backyard is totally concret and kind a depressing. Anyway, there was a rectangular flower bed, pretty decent size. We decided to turn it into a pond type thingy. My wife was highly sceptical of the project. Until the very end she thought it was going to be a disaster. But after few months of TLC, it is slowly becoming something that we both like. Here are couple of picures. Enjoy !


Thanks

Congrats for your new ponds.. It looks great Thanks for sharing...

Congrats and cool pond

Great picctures of your pond. Great pond!

Congrats!! I think all your hard work paid off as it turned out really awesome! WHat type fish did you end up putting in there?How many gallons?It looks pretty deep from the pics.Very nice job,and yes.....We do expect more pics!

pretty

Very nice, I love the shape.

I love it The way you've utilised the space is terrific and it looks like a little oasis

Thanks guys, the pond is about 4 feet deep about 10 feet long and abut 4 feet wide so that calculates to about 1200 gallons? I have few kois in there now. But after I put in some plants I have been experiencing algae blooms. So hopefully once it clears up a bit (using algae destroyer) I will put up some picure of the fishes. They are still very shy and do not come out when I am close to the pond.

Couple of more pictures. This time I gave some food and went away from the pond. Turned the pond pump off and took the picture from comfort of upstairs bedroom. :-)

Looks the algae detroyer is creating lots of foam. Hopefully it will clear up in next couple of days.

Very nice looking pond. You did a nice job.

Very nice pond! I hate cement-only yards too and would have done the same thing.
