What happens here

With the pump vault in place, the team begins adding river stones and rocks to cover the exposed matrix blocks and pump vault area. This serves several purposes: it helps secure the liner, adds natural aesthetic appeal, provides additional surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow (natural filtration), and protects the pump from direct sunlight and falling debris. Rocks are carefully selected and placed to create a stable, natural-looking streambed and basin floor.

Goal: Cover the pond base with river stones and rocks for aesthetics and function

Tools and materials

  • Large Rocks — Anchoring the liner, creating visual structure, and forming the waterfall
  • River Stones — Covering the pond base and creating the streambed
  • Shovels — Fine-tuning the placement of smaller stones
  • Skid Steer Kubota — Moving and distributing large quantities of rocks and gravel
