Once you've had one...

... then you have to have one wherever you live. 

First came the rock... LOTS of rock...

Excavation.

Tucker's up close and personal inspection!

Further examination by Hazel once the pond was lined and the rock placement had begun.

I kind of slacked off on the photos as the rock was being laid, sorry... This is after the pond is finished. Waterfalls are still to be designed.

And the first night. So peaceful and nice to have a pond again. 

A koi pond.... Close to the house.... With waterfalls.... Not to be fished in :)

West fall rushes down a rough rock, splits and finishes off by flowing over two logs.

Eastern fall serenely meanders over some large flat rocks. So peaceful! 

The logs and one root came from the property.

Michael transferred the koi to their new home earlier this week. He also brought a couple more roots and a few plants from Keller. The swing is my Christmas gift he hung so we can enjoy the pond and have a great view of everything out back too!

Christmas day photo. Nobody but Tucker looks happy to pose...

It survived it's first flood! We didn't put an overflow in because the water runs off and soaks into this sand quickly enough. The water was clear for a few days anyway... 

Fantastic work by the crew at Backyard Concepts in Aubry, TX!

Thanks for another beautiful water feature!!

Can't wait to add landscaping!
