I’m not sure where you are located but this is our local rock that we get for a honest price. Where ever you’re at you should be able to get your local rock for approximately 50.00 to 100.00 dollars per ton.
This is a excellent sized pond with some large character stones. We used approximately 12 tons of stone on this project.
Thanks for the fantastic feedback and best of luck to you with your turtle pond! Lean on us if you have any questions along the way. Your turtles will be pleased!

Yeah when the economy was cranking everyone with a wheel barrow and truck got into building ponds! Even tweekers!
Now that the economy is a challenge, most of the glide by night pond builders have fallen out of the picture.
Those with pond water running through their veins remain.

Believe it or not we usually get the pipe for free from construction sites we see on the streets. We get scraps that would normally be tossed in the dumpster. Otherwise we usually buy it from a specialty landscape supply house.

I don’t remember the exact diameter on the tunnel used in this pond but typically we use 10″ to 12″ pipe.
Fantastic question!

April 28th, 2010 at 8:25 pm

It is incredible how quick fish find these caves when you introduce them to the pond. They instinctively seek refuge. Once they become familiar with you they will have no dread and greet you each time you visit the pond.
When a predator such as a Blue Heron, Egret or Raccoon stop by to hunt the fish vanish into their fish cave retreat.

We have never experienced fish getting stuck in the tunnels we make for them.

April 28th, 2010 at 11:05 pm

We’re huge on maintaining proper scale on all our projects. Sometimes perspective is very different on camera. The length of the stream is easily captured in the pond without overflow, when the power is turned is off for maintenance.
I believe the size of the character boulders is spot on for this project. During the construction phase when rock is everywhere it can appear to be heavy in stone but after landscape is planted the balance returns.
Thanks for the comment.
