In this episode of DIY's
Waterscapes workshop, host Heidi Robinson and water-garden expert Rick Bartel put the finishing touches on a newly installed water garden. This particular pond was installed on the grounds of a middle school where it will serve as a learning tool for the students. The final phase of the installation includes adding the faceplate to the pond skimmer, installing boulders and stonework and landscaping. In the first segment, some of the boulders and larger rocks are positioned around the perimeter of the pond, and Rick discusses the function of he faceplate on the pond skimmer. Then, stone edging is installed on the coping shelf around the perimeter of the pond and the pond liner is trimmed to size. Finally, the finishing touches are put on the water garden in the form of landscaping and planting.
