Today's blog post is fresh and crispy. Its about what happen today in the back yard of a certain house in the Shippensburg area. We arrived on site about 8:30 and started on tearing out the existing pond. The homeowner had installed this one himself 20 years ago, and wanted to have a more natural water garden with proper filtration and a few water falls. It would have been impossible to remodel the existing pond to get those features, so a complete redo was chosen.
By 9:30 we had the old pond removed, and marked out the perimeter of the new 8'x11 pond, as you can see on the picture below. Take note of the skimmer and bio-falls placed as well.
And then it was jumpin' on the shovel time. Actually, I of course left Tyler and Spencer do most of the digging, while I did the easier work of setting the skimmer & bio-falls. 12:00 saw us with majority of the pond dug, much to the shoveler's delight.
The afternoon went both quickly and slowly. But by 4:00 we were pleased with our progress and decided to call it a day. The pond has most of the boulders and gravel placed, the stream and waterfalls are in progress, and it looks like tomorrow we will hopefully enjoy lunch over the sounds of new waterfalls in action. See you then!
