We all enjoy sitting on the bench dangling our legs in the water and watching the waterfall.
Took about 6 months to build with about 30 tonnes of rock and gravel.
Started life as a Aquascape DIY medium pond kit about 7 years ago but has been expanded last year adding a second waterfall. Love Aquascape products
We started this in 2024 and finished up this custom pond build and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It took plenty of digging, rock placement, and fine tuning to get everything looking right, but seeing it all come together made it worth the effort. Was able to save fish from a nursery closing down
We started our DIY pond project a week into December 2022, with a working bee we organised with some family friends who enthusiastically volunteered themselves to help us clear an area we had chosen to put the pond, dig out a large tree stump that was in the way, and roughly dig the pond shape and depth with 2 layers. This all got achieved in one Saturday afternoon. Many hands do make light work!
From here, my partner Robert and our son Kyan took the time to carefully level out the base making sure it was flat and no sharp rocks were protruding. We then placed the skimmer box and BioFalls waterfall system in place. This took a few attempts, but we got it right in the end. Next was putting the underlay and liner in and trimming the excess, which we later used for putting under large rocks in the pond.
The next stage probably took us the longest: laying the rocks. Trailer loads later we think we managed to get it looking pretty natural in the end. Then Robert siliconed on the rubber liner to the skimmer box and BioFalls waterfall, used the expanding foam around the waterfall and excitedly we started filling the pond the next morning. It has been such a rewarding process and now we are able to say, 'We built this!'
Today, the pond is planted out, and although it will take some time to mature, it already looks so beautiful. I have tried to include native ground covers to attract the local birdlife which is abundant here in Boreen Point. The sound of the waterfall flowing is so tranquil and peaceful, this new addition to our yard has transformed our garden into a tropical paradise.
