See that can of foam? That’s “waterfall foam”. It’s an expanding foam to fill all the nooks and crannies around the rocks of the waterfall so that he can precisely direct where all the water goes (over the waterfall) and none just seeps down behind or between the rocks where it won’t be seen. As it cures, he can press in small rocks and moss and stuff to hide it.

You can see a section he’s just sprayed.

That is cool. Neat trick.

This video coincidentally popped up in my YT feed before I saw this thread yesterday. Such amazing waterfalls and a huge project! I wish I could have a waterfall and pond too for my small yard.

The edges are getting cleaned up, small gravel is dressing up the rock work in the pond. Just met with the guy who will be installing the patio.

And a small thunderstorm is rolling in. Mother Nature says it’s about time to put water in the pond!

Gorgeous color to that rock!

I didn't read all...but went through the progression photos. The fish will be in the upper part or lower part...or both?
The part where you can still see the black cloth is the bog filter. I guess that’s the upper part. No fish there. The fish will be in the lower part.
