    I love it.. I want to do this but still I need help so can I plz hire u guys to do this? I’m in Houston Texas

    I just feel like this doesn't look at all natural. The round, smooth, dark black/gray river rocks just don't go with the flat, rough, yellow/brown/red rocks at all. Looks contrived.

    While I like the pond idea to this house needed a covered patio or covered porch more. The covered patio or porch would have been low cost to do, low maintenance and added the property value in comparison to the in ground pond which would be high cost to install and maintain since you have to plug it it. It also takes away from the property value because of these factors. After extending the patio or adding a porch I would then consider a portable water feature for the porch or yard. A lot less cost and stress.

    Thanks for the video! One tip I can add is I installed a metal screen mesh 1/2 inch below the water on mine and made sure some of the rocks extended into the water so any critters that fell in could walk back out.

    This design is not intelligent. Birds and small mammals are guaranteed to drown in your pond if you do not create easy exits from the water to the surface ground. I can't tell you how many people create "backyard ponds" and end up with the dead bodies of small birds and small mammals floating in them.

    Create a pebble hill along the outsides, or steps made of stone. There are many ways to prevent killing wildlife, and they need to be at the forefront of your design.

    Small suggestion. Before adding the backfill sand, temporarily place some concrete block on the bottom of the liner. This will help prevent the liner from moving as you add the backfill.

    No link to the flagstones is terrible since this look depends on them. Not happy about this. Rating from 9 goes to 1 just for that
