I finally retired from law enforcement after almost 38 years at the same department. Got lots of free time now so one of my projects is to build a waterfall/pond where my above ground pool used to be. I will then plant some things around the pond and fill in the rest with dirt and grass seed. Here are some pics of my progress so far.
Retirement is great isn't it? Doing what you want when you want! Good luck in your retirement, enjoy!!!
Yes it is....thanks
No fish, too many critters would have a free lunch and it would require filtration and such.
Going to use underlayment and then a 45 mil pond liner.
How many gallons will the pond hold, and how much water flow ie gallons/Liters per hour?

Ha! I almost replied "probably a pond liner, whatever those are made of?" to him yesterday but thought it might come off jerk-ish. Lol
I figure it is about 800-900 gallons. The pump is a 2300 gph pump but after pumping up to the spillway it is reduced to about 1700 gph.
Still have to move in black dirt and put grass seed on 3/4 of it. Wife wants a "beach " area on the right side between the tarp and yucca plant. Moving all the rocks was a back breaker. The awesome part is my brother saw a farm field with piles of rocks. I talked to the farmer and he said take all you want!
Looks awesome!!
