The photo above is that of a Koi (Japanese carp). This one is a Goromo - one of the many different varieties of Koi . One of my first and certainly not my last.

Pond Layout - My First Pond

planned layout of my Koi pond
 
This is the planned layout of my first pond. As construction takes place, minor changes were made. A small, shallow pond for a water garden was added, instead of a stream.

The photo of the pond during construction shows the overhangs before the final finishing works. Reinforced concrete was used.



 
 
The photo below shows the final effect, taken from another view. The waterfall is at the right of the photo.
