Renovating the pond part 1

Last summer the pond sprung a leak . a bit of patching didnt fix it , and it really looks a bit pathetic.

So the job over the summer is to do something about it.

The water takes a fairly tortuous route to the pond. It runs across the drive

This appeared sometime in 2014 , because its visible here .
It runs across the drive , and then into a pipe

And it  runs down the garden and under a wall

then under a path

and intothe pond.

So diverting the water is easy .

Just a matter of cutting back some (dead) trees

Before 

After 

And making a channel  for the water

Hopefully the pond will empty gradually and then we can see what needs doing
