What happens here

Carefully place large boulders and rocks to define the edges of the pond and stream, forming natural-looking shorelines and structural elements for waterfalls and cascades. Use smaller stones and gravel to fill gaps and create a stable, aesthetically pleasing environment. The mini excavator can assist with positioning the largest boulders, while manual labor is essential for detailed placement. Ensure rocks are stable and secure to prevent shifting once water is added. A long level is used to confirm proper slope for water flow.

Goal: Create a natural and stable rock layout for the pond and stream.
