Mike’s Pondless Stream

Think Green foreman Mike has his own big pondless stream. This is a very family friendly pondless stream. Full of lovely big rocks and flowing water.

But shallow and safe so is ideal for his young family to play in and enjoy.

The stream itself is about 8m long and fills the whole corner of the backyard and creates a beautiful natural outlook from the entire back half of their house.

It has low voltage LED feature underwater lights too, so even in the evening it is a spectacular outlook whether you’re doing the dishes at the kitchen sink, or sitting outside with a cool drink soaking it all in.

Something Interesting

We built a spilling bowl here with filter layers in thye bottom half (much the same components as usually used in an ecosystem pond) to house some lovely fish to take the iteraction to another level.
