There is always room for a pond. I like your waterfall, how did you build it?

my husband cemented cinderblocks down in a step pattern, then we used slab like rocks, im not sure of there exact name, but they are flat kinda tan looking. just started putting together them as he went, after he got it built we smoothed the sides with cement and covered the sides and the top bowl with small river rock to match the walkway, he inserted plumbing pipe from the filter going into top bowl, and another pipe 3rd shelf down for more water flow

jayelbax...Are you coping the IMG code in the photobucket to paste here? I try using the code you have posted but wouldnt work for me either. Go back in to photobucket and copy the IMG code and try. Send me a message on here and send me your e-mail address I will send you info on posting your pix the right size on here. I am working outside but will run in from time to time to check to see if you need more help. Teresa :)

Teresa,
Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. It worked. :lol:
This is my pond in the early morning. Sun is just coming up. I wanted to get a picture of the hummingbirds taking a bath in the waterfall but they were shy today. :wink:

Your welcome....More then happy to help a member out when I can :D ...Your pond looks great all bloom out and the greenery etc.. I cant wait for my flowers etc to get bloom out around my ponds looks so bare around them now. :( Wont have much around the pond this summer as I have a rescue pup I got last July he has already shredded a WH plant I bought from Bonnie that I put out yesterday and this morning was shredded up in the front yard, darn dog :cry:
