I Built a Pond… Without a Plan and ZERO Experience

There’s something I’ve been wanting to do out here for a long time… and I finally just went for it. No real plan, no perfect design—just digging, shaping, and trying to turn this little space into something that feels alive. In this first video, I’m building the base pond—figuring out the shape, working with the slope, and trying to make it feel natural instead of forced. This is part 1 of a 3-part series: → Part 1: Building the base pond (this video) → Part 2: Adding the creek + upper pond → Part 3: Planting and bringing it to life We’ll see how this turns out together. If you’ve ever wanted to build something like this but felt overwhelmed… this one’s for you. Stay blessed ? Here’s the liner I used! https://amzn.to/4lyw1gY ⸻ ?
