We started Phil's pond in July 2002 in Carlisle, ON, about 1 hour west of the Toronto in some very beautiful country. Phil had spent the previous winter planning and really knew what he wanted to accomplish in his backyard
This pond features a 4 inch bottom drain, a filter neatly hidden under the gazebo and a waterfall and stream. The entire feature measures over 50 feet in length |

The excavated shell illustrates the scope of this pond. Notice the trench around the rim of the pond. This acts as the form for the concrete collar. The trench on the left which leads under the deck will house the flex pipe which feeds the filter |
|
| The liner has now been installed which means we are at about the 1/2 point. Much of the filter system is complete and under the back of the gazebo. This pond is over 5 feet deep |

The pond is started to take shape now as much of the rock work has been done. The stream in the background is also visible with the waterfall just behind Phil |
|
I returned a month later and Phil had a lot of the finishing work done. The finishing touches are very time consuming but make a world of difference to the final look
Once again it was a collaborative effort between the pond owner and Clarke Koi to bring this dream to fruition. I look forward to seeing this pond next year once the plants start to take hold |
