A pile of rocks and a pile of dirt. The beginning stages of building a waterfeature often look like a mess of a tetris puzzle.
But no worries for this family in Pottstown, PA because this 2017 waterfeature installation was all wrapped up in just a few days.
Fish Pond Specifications:
This backyard started with raised beds for gardening and a small leaking "frog pond" that not only measured less than a 8'x8' area and lacked filtration but also happened to sit over 40' from where the family generally spends their time relaxing on the deck. The homeowner wanted to upgrade and upgrade he did.
Two streams/waterfalls spill into this pond. Having upgraded the original "frog pond" to hold water and look more natural with rocks, one beautiful cascading waterfall runs 35 feet long and is designed to connect the original "frog pond" to the new larger pond installation nestled at the bottom of the hill next to the deck. This waterfall also had a flagstone bridge across the center of it. The the second waterfall is 6 feet long with awesome boulder work and is the filtration for the pond, complete with bio-media for bacteria colonization and an Aquascape, Inc. IonGen System that controls string algae.
The fish pond portion of the waterfeature measures 20'x25' by 2.5' deep and approximately 3500 gallons operating with a Tsrumi 9PL pump that pushes about 7000 gallons of water per hour. Imagine the beautiful sound produced by a pump that size! When talking fish, this backyard pond can sustain a total of 350 inches of fish which is really cool because the Dreamscapes team installed two flatter boulders in the pond for the family to sit on and stick their feet in the water.

Our favorite part about this waterfeature installation project is the before and after photo! Seeing a backyard go from raised beds to a beautiful ecosystem because of dreams we helped come true always amazes us.
