Hi everyone!
Finally, today we were able to start moving some rocks into the pond!
It rained a bit throughout the week so we had about 8” of rain water to pump out yesterday.
To move our large boulders I need to rent an excavator, but I’d like to get all the rocks placed that can be done by hand or the mini tractor. Hopefully after getting these smaller rocks set I’ll know if I have enough rock to finish the job. Because I don’t want to figure out I need more rocks half way though the week of my rental.
Also, After about 6 hours of moving and placing rocks, I now realize how critical the pond shelves are.
We plan to use @GBBUDD suggestion and pull the liner back to bring in dirt to build up our shelves so they are flat and as deep as possible.
Unfortunately I won’t get another chance tomorrow work on the pond again until next weekend. But I wanted to start this thread to continue adding updates and pictures.
Also, if you notice any major issues, please don’t hesitate to let me know!
Enjoy your weekend
