The Unintended Pond
While I was working away at our new fence over the weekend the hubby was working on our driveway drainage issue. The resolution seemed simple enough, dig a trench, lay in the pipe, fill the trench back in.
Well it turns out that our water abundant property gave us an unexpected surprise, a new pond! The collection basin that M. dug tapped into one of our many springs and filled up! It happily flows through the pipe under the driveway and catches up on the other side where the spring naturally percolates out of the ground.
M. will grade off the edges, we’ll add some stone, landscape fabric and plants for a nice finished look!
One thing we never run out of here at Dutch Hollow is fresh clean beautiful spring water.
- Looks like we now have a small pond.
- Water is crystal clear!
- Our barn cat Peaches checking things out.
- Other side of the pipe.
- This is the natural spring. It bubbles out of the ground at a pretty good rate.
