| Site Planning & Construction! |
| Since that time we have been doing a
lot of planning and a little constructing. The plan
evolved into a raised garden area that would include a
garden fish pond with waterfall and the garden railroad. The back wall is constructed using 4x4 fence posts with 4x6 wall, with a height of 22". The front wall is antique color cottage stone that matches our brick paver patio. |
We then installed a cottage stone front side to the raised bed and the form for the pond. |
The form used treated 2x4's with a 3/4" plywood backing. Jeri's father designed the pond and helped us construct it. |
| There was plenty of dirt to move...as you can see the hard way. Fortunately we had a small tractor-trailer to get the soil to the wheelbarrow to move to the right spot in the raised bed. |
| We used carpeting to give the pond liner something soft to sit on. |
| Here is a picture of the pond with water in it. |
