I've constructed a small garden pond - about 5'x9', 2 1/2' feet deep at deepest. This sits between our main deck and a smaller deck that I covered and enclosed as a screen porch area. So I had to remove the walkway between the decks, and built a new walkway between them, somewhat higher, that goes over the pond. The area between the main deck and the house, about 3 feet wide, has always been a problem, in that I could never decide what to do there. So I created a babbling brook that runs along this area, and recirculates the water back into the garden pond. The brook runs for about 20 feet, gently sloping downwards, until it tumbles into the pond. I've finished the pond and the waterway for the brook, set the pump up, and it's running. What's left is the finish landscaping along the brook and around the pond. As soon as that's done, I'll post pictures, but it will have to wait a couple of weeks. I'm headed to Alexandria, VA, to visit my daughter.
I'd love to see the pictures. It sounds like the kind of thing I'll want to do in my own yard, at such time as I actually have a house.
