Yeah dude! This is the stuff that you can think of all day long. New ideas about every minute and a half!!! I just don't know how to land these big water features man. Haven't done any yet so I don't have anything to show customers. I'm not one to go showing other peoples' work. Any advice

Johnny, i was in the same boat man. the first step that i made was doing large rock (boulders) and putting them up at my local lawn and garden center. then i started making little water features to put up and sell. then, i just broke down and sucked up the cost and actually did a small fish pond with a little waterfall at the same place. it took about a month, but now my phone is ringing. went and looked at 2 coi ponds today, a stamp concrete job, and two vertical fireplaces to hand carve. im pretty new at this myself but, its definitely something im going to continue pushing and doing....

Thanks Nathan!! This was my first pond so to speak. it turned out pretty good, although there are a few things that i would do different next time, LOL. And a big Thanks to you and VA for making all this possible!!!!!!!!!
