As you can see, we do love our rocks. At the edge of the pond we have one beauty that will be a focus point for the dryscaping we will do later this fall and in the spring. We have mulched in the area since this photo was taken.

The Pond
We are one of the areas of Gabriola that doesn't need to worry about water in the summer. We have never run dry, but in the winter we get a LOT of run-off from the hills behind us. We have a drainage ditch on all 4 sides, but we also have a small pond in the front. There was a lot of silt in it, so we decided to have it dug out. Then we decided to re-enforce the walls with rock. The project just kept growing! We still have a lot of work to do on it, but the main rock work is done now. There are spots to plant in the spring to add colour and keep down the erosion even more.
