Oh I really like it a lot! Well worth the effort!

I'm glad my mother in law likes it, because as someone said, it was a lot of work.
It came with a surprise. Not the irrigation, which I suspected, but convergence of all 3 drain lines from the house and shop.
This was put in the lawn area, and until I dug, I had no idea that the drain lines all came together right under the back of the pond location that we marked-out.
I had to use flex ADS drain pipe to route the drain around the perimeter of the pond. It was a bit of a nail-biter.

Don't forget to be kind to strangers. For some who have
done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

Wow! M.D.,
that looks very nice....definitely alot of hard work....we put a pond in about 10 years ago and have redone it three times for various reasons. They are alot of work but well worth the efforts.

With flat stone like yours, it can be easier to kneel at the side and tinker in the pond.
Your lilies look well established.
