That pond makes me think I should do more with mine. All I did was have my brother inlaw come by on his way home from work over a week and dig a hole until he hit water. Then made it bigger. It is 100' long, 60' wide, and 16' deep (in the middle goes to 0'). I thought that cattails, lillies, water hyacinths, and a gazebo were good enoug, but I guess some rock work can go a long way.
