This serene setting is the result of working with high school students to create an "outdoor biological classroom" for the study in particular of breeding frogs in artificial ponds naturalistic setting within the confines of a space between adjoining science study classrooms. The area features a sealed concrete mini lake, tropical plantings and the combination of a hollow artificial rock waterfall and solid fake boulders.

This series of four shots is a fake rock water feature constructed in a small courtyard space. A pre-fab sand coated fibreglass pond has been utilized and is excellent for a
safe and sure water catchment and with the sand coating it is easy to coat the pond in a simulated faux rock surface which is done for this design.

The second image shows the ledging structure of the future fake rock is taking shape by laying thin pieces of slab rock on top of each other and cementing them together.
At this stage the retriculation poly pipe has been fed up the back of the joined rock pieces to the desired height that the water is to cascade from.

The third image reveals that the fibreglass pond has been removed while the concrete impregnated recycled rubble used to form a future artificial boulder is allowed
set and harden.

The fourth image shows the just finished result, a fake rock like catchment pond and artificial stone and boulder waterfeature tailormade to fit neatly into the available space
and terrain.
