August 2004 Congratulations: Corey & Kimberly Quinn of Holly Springs, NC My wife Kimberley and I have a dream of having an English Garden for a backyard. We have been working for 4 years on our landscaping and this July it came time to build our pond. We wanted a pond that looked natural, had a waterfall, and was able to handle both koi and turtles. Our pond is about 3000 gal and is 15' X 25' with a 2 tier waterfall. On the left side of the pond is shallow end with a bolder that allows for sunning and easy entrance and exit for turtles and frogs. The right side of the pond has a section that is 24" deep to allow for the koi to hibernate during winter. The rest of the pond is 18" deep, except for a shallow shelf in the back that we filled with aquatic shallow water plants. My wife and I hand dug the pond and used over 8 ton of rocks and bolders to make a natural look. We have just finished planting 16 water plants and plan on doing some additional landscaping around the outside next Spring. The pond is now home to 10 Koi and several frogs. All this work became worth it once we saw the look on our two year old daughters face when she first saw the koi swimming around in the pond. Of course all of them are named Nemo. :-)
