The Client brief - to create a family garden out of what used to be a pub carpark, and a brick, glass, crockery dump - well thats what i discovered the garden space was made up of but all that hardcore and rubbish was hidden under a thin layer of turf, scabby grass, and weeds.

Stream & Waterfall for existing Pond

Filed under: water feature, pond, garden on Aug 05, 2009

This was a pond that had been made recently by a landscaper but a rather unimaginative effort with the pond liner clearly visible as was the pipe for the pump and the electric cable. The stream they built was one of those narrow gutters with same sized rocks lining the length and a waterfall of about 2-3 inches. In fact the stream was so flat that it also emptied at the back of the stream by the filter meaning the client could only run it for a few hours before having to fill the pond up again.
