Dig if you will the picture (story)………
This is a look back at my first pond build in Austin Texas. Inspired by a family pond we had growing up and a neighbors water garden pond in Austin. I will say right now that I hadn't found Koiphen at this point and really wish I had!
Back yard was nothing but grass and one Yaupon Holly when we bought it. There was to be a swimming pool here, but torrential rain and HOA restrictions on access kept that from happening, so we dug a pond
We decided on the pond after doing the patio and didn’t want to tear up the patio to build a pond. We did read that you want the pond close to the house where you can enjoy it.
Summer 2009….at the time(pond revision was hotter), one of the hottest. 100+!
