What happens here

A specific section of the pond design includes a 'sitting area' adjacent to the deck, where individuals can comfortably dip their feet into the water. To facilitate this, an underwater retaining wall is built. This wall ensures stability and a flush edge with the deck, allowing for seamless interaction with the water. The retaining wall is then cleverly hidden by strategically placed boulders at its ends, giving it a natural, integrated appearance.

Goal: Create a functional and aesthetically integrated sitting area with an underwater retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Boulders Natural stone — Hiding the ends of the retaining wall for a natural finish
  • Concrete Blocks or Similar Material — Constructing the underwater retaining wall
  • Level — Ensuring the retaining wall is perfectly level with the adjacent deck
  • Mortar or Pond-safe Adhesive — Securing the retaining wall blocks

What they say

Hide

a retaining wall underwater so right here we're going to be installing an actual retaining wall and that I think is one of the first things we're going to start doing today because we want to be able to get that wall in so that we can hide the ends of the wall and the reason why we're building here Zach you want to the reason why we're building this retaining wall under here is that you can sit on the deck and put your feet in and then by having that wall flush it allows you to do that but on the flip side of that coin we want to get that wall in so that we can then Place b a boulder here and a boulder there and have the two ends of the retaining wall disappear so Alex since he likes to get up at about 5:00 a.m. hit the gym and then sit outside in my yard chomping at the bit to get to work's already here ready to go yeah and he fought the law and the law one didn't you Alex and that's a true story there that's been a true story for a lot of people he never win against them no all
