Re: New Pond W Stream Pics
How do you plan to retain stream "integrity" so as to not erode in directions not desirable???

Re: New Pond W Stream PicsQuote:
Just remember.....A pipe too small will cause too much pressure. I only say this because I made that mistake 10 tears ago. Had to keep the 2" PVC that I originally was going to use for the return and use it for a fountain in the middle of the upper pond and install a 4" PVC to create the proper return flow volume without the "Gush".

Re: New Pond W Stream Pics
I really like where the stream winds around the trees. In the part right after the wishing well though, is there any way to lower the stream? It doesn't look right to have a stream on top of a mound of dirt. In nature, they are always cut lower than the surrounding grade. Maybe if you made a fall from the wishing well?? I can't see the grades accurately from the photos.

Re: New Pond W Stream Pics
the stream is 62 ft long, i will be messing around with the transistion where the well will be overflowing, i want it to look like the well broke open and the water is flowing freely out of it. i will pile stones around the transistion to simulate this. i went to the supply yard today, the materials are around $3500, i was a bit surprised. because of the shape they recommended two skimmers, two pumps with 3'' lines running from each.

Re: New Pond W Stream Pics
Another quick question or 4. What are you gonna' put in place to insure the tree roots don't meet up with the stream? It looks pretty shallow if you're gonna' install a line and rocks.

Re: New Pond W Stream Pics
the pumps are around $400 each, 3pn and 4pn are written on my notes, the padding that goes in before the liner is supposed to prevent root penetration (as i am told)
