there are plenty of constructions sites around that have loose stone...that
is how I made all of the walls and pond at my house.

However you need a large trailer and a strong back....

I would also recomend permalon for the liner NOT epdm a lot cheaper and
easier to work with.

when you design your pond make sure you leave a cave or large overhang
somewhere for the fish to hide under. Dont worry they will mill about so
you will see them.

Otherwise the herons will eat all of your fish very quicly

ebay is a great source for the pond pumps

the BEST flower there is are impatients...I put them right into the pond and
into the bowl on my fountain and they grow to about 3-4 feet by the end of
the summer.

My koi is now about 18inches long and I only paid $5 for it in the pet
store.

I have two others now in my pond and they are doing well

Thanks Kevin.

Just FYI, we went to 3 places today- all off of Capital Blvd.
Hamilton Landscapes is BY FAR the cheapest. GREAT selection and
about 1/2 the price of the other places! They have just about
any kind of rock or mulch your little heart desires. Plus, if
you buy 2 tons or more, delivery is free. They currently have a
special going- $165. per ton for NC rock (brown, yellow).
