The first job was to clear all of the cobbles and boulders and to create a constant level for the main pond area.

 

 

 

Next we built in the new water-falls using natural stone that were covered in moss.

 

 

Large boulders were concreted into position, so the water would cascade into the main pond.

 

 

 

Around the pond edge, stone walls were built to retain the soil of the higher ground areas.

 

 

 

The waterfalls created an area of water behind each one so the whole system had seven waterfalls with seven pools to fall into before reaching the main pool.

 

 

 

 

 

The stream area had moss covered stones added and the sides planted. The main pond area had plants added and a natural stone rock out-crop was added to one side to view the pond and areas around.

 

 

Instead of pointing between the stones on the viewing area we added soil and seeded it with a covering of – "mind your own business", this spreads between the rocks and breaks up the large stone area. Appearance will be a little softer and easier on the eye. Because the site got a lot of northerly winds, we chose hardy plants of grasses, ferns and some low ground cover.
