    💯 Oh my goodness 😍

    This hillside is a pond builders dream… 🤤

    The drops were about to build in this backyard are going to be epic!

    This is day one and we got a lot accomplished but it is definitely slow going because this is the most rock and ledge I have ever seen in a New England backyard while digging.

    Check it out to get a better idea of what’s to come! ❤️🐸

    About the author

    Shawn Cutroni

    Founder & Co-Owner, Master Certified Aquascape Contractor

    Shawn Cutroni founded New England Aquatic Landscaping in 2008 after a backyard pond he built for his mother as a Christmas gift turned green within weeks. He spent the years that followed learning the biology, filtration and stone work that let a water feature sustain itself, became a Master Certified Aquascape Contractor, and rebuilt that first pond. Today he leads NEAL's construction, maintenance and office teams from Cherry Valley, Massachusetts, designing, building and servicing ecosystem ponds, koi ponds, pondless waterfalls and natural swimming ponds across New England. He also hosts the I Love Ponds YouTube channel, where he documents builds and answers pond owners' questions.
