Adding Features To Our Lake

How to build a lake episode five - "Adding Features To Our Lake," where we invite you to dive deep into the heart of our lake-building project.
In this episode, we're putting the spotlight on some of the crucial elements of lake design that often go unnoticed but play a significant role in shaping a thriving ecosystem. Gravel patches and shallow areas are where biodiversity thrives, and we explore how these carefully crafted features contribute to the natural balance of our lake.
🔍 Key Highlights from Episode 5:
We add the features including gravel patches, shallow areas and clay bars.
We show you how we profile the lake's banks.
We complete the final clean up of the lake.

[@tobybrusey1197]

Really great to see it coming to life, almost there now!

[@tomorrowsforests]

Oh yes! Very close in the video series now, just wait till you see the final thing...

It is always good to watch pond builds.
The dam seems to be very steep. It will be hard to grow grass on such steep wall as I have seen in other videos.

[@tomorrowsforests]

Thanks... yeah, the water side of the dam wall is very steep. The next lake build we will change that. We did grade out the back side to a much nicer slope.
