Fold back the black liner, dig out where you want the big rocks.  Lay the liner back down and place the rocks.

 

 

 

The pond is pretty much finished.  The stream is pretty much finished.  The waterfall needs more big rocks.  The malibu lights aren't completely installed.  There is still lots of landscaping to be done.  We're enjoying what we've accomplished so far.

 

Check back periodically  to see what we've added.
