Its almost finished

We have been working on our backyard sense last summer and its almost complete. Last year we layed half of it with sawed and this summer Justin was working on it everyday to finish it (especially because i asked to have it done before Parker's birthday party).
took out the old cement pond.

Dug the pond to the shape we wanted and our neighbor Larry said "you know you are almost at your water line, if you are going to spend this money to do something really nice you should dig a little piece of it up to see what the water line looks like so you don't have to dig everything all out if something bad happens." Which we are so thankful for his input because it looked really bad and their was a pin hole where it meet the county line and when our other neighbor the plumber tried to disconnect it from the county it broke. It was a little set back but rather be safe then sorry.
This is the water line and the inside of it was a lot worse, i am so glad i use a water purifier!!!
The start of laying rock by rock, it was like art trying to put everything together so it looked great. Thanks to Justin finding rocks at a job site (the supervisor gave him the OK)we got rocks for free which saved us thousands of dollars.

The finishing well almost, still have little things like we put up a hammock and between the waterfalls we need to put a Japanese maple and in the bottom left corner put another. Justin did an awesome job we really put both of our ideas together, designed it and it turned out better than we could imagine.
