New backyard Pond Build

[enchilada]

ive been super procrastinating..... bought the house in February , still havent finish the pond yet.
my plan is simple------ a pond with land area so that my box turtles and aquatic turtles can co exist.


This is what i got when i moved in. Since my house is brand new construction,greedy builder wont even give me a brick for the back yard...





May----finally started


roughly 12x10

gonna put this bricks under the pond liner edge, to prevent mud water run off into the pond





and MORE small river pebbles to cover

You are doing such great things ! I wish I could find a least liner in my country to build something like this. But there is not stores for such things here, I can't find water pump either. So my turtle can't have such a wonderful pond. It's really amazing, great work !

Wow, looking great. They sure look happy. Lot of work goes into building a pond. I did one years ago. They are so worth it though.
