Trying to keep a natural look and different heights for plants

The third shelf and the skimmer hole are almost done. The pond depth is now at its final 2 feet. Which mean that the digging is almost at an end. Woohoo!

Actually we dug the deepest part down to a little over two feet, since it would be partly filled back up with gravel, and two feet is the sweet spot between giving your fish a survival chance and needing a pool permit from the city.
