Ryan, I put another 18 tons of the small rip-rap around the sides of the pond this weekend, just in time for another round of huge thunderstorms sat. evening. For the first time, I was able to observe what the rain water was doing and could see where the water was breaching the limestone. I had enough limestone left over to beef up those areas and will have to wait and see if it works. For the most part, it looks like what I added this weekend will do the trick to keep the debris out of the pond. Even with the 2 areas the water got through, there was very little debris.Now all I need is GRASS to grow. Thanks for the help and posting the pics. You're pond looks great!! I can't wait for mine to look that nice.
