I was thinking of your design which I haven't yet seen if there were one, will there be levels to create waterfall or a spillway? I guess I'll wait for a plan...

here is a very rough (not that thought out) beggining idea ... The water will flow from the waterfall, through a deep pebble and stone bed (which will be planted with water loving plants - to filter the water) and then into the pond... a small bridge for aesthetic purposes... and somewhere there near there will be a bench or 2 so that people can sit and listen to the water trickle and contemplate whatever is on their minds...

:?
I have about one and a half cubick meters of dirt I can use to help with elevation, and it is a slightly inclined area too...... as for the rest, still have to sit and work on it all...
every time I go to sit, look, and try think about it there is just too much that comes flooding and I honestly feel like I am going to burst open (its just too painfull some days)...
but my father is a pillar of strength and is helping us... so I am takeing small steps as that is all I can get through right now... as we/I work things out I will post the progress and possible ideas - input is welcome...

firstly let the rivers flow and then you will be creative--
strength will come later and your ideas too...
I will have a go too, there are better sketchup artist out there and with your format in an earlier post I am sure someone could work with that!

It just seems the right thing to incorporate... which means no bulky, messy filters too!
