Creating a Pond in your Garden adds life to any landscape

Creating a Pond in your Garden adds life to any landscape


No matter how large or small your garden is, adding a water feature such as a pond can tranform any landscape into a place of beauty and life.

Pond liners can be purchased from my garden centres and can be rigid in condtruction, ie fibreglass or rigid plastic, or you can create your own design using waterproof, extra strong poly sheeting.

First of all you need to chose a location in your garden - this must be an area that will receive at least 5 hours a day of full sun.

Next you need to prepare the ground by removing all sharp objects and levelling out the floor of the pond area. It is best if you can put an even layer of smooth sand at the bottom of the dug out area before you put in your pond liner.This will help with stability and will reduce the chance of damage to the liner once it has settled due to the weight of the water you are about to add.

Carefully fill the pond with water - you are advised to put in a few inches at first and then leave for an hour to make sure the pond is watertight.

You can add colour to your pond with some well selected plants - Water lilies, cattails, water hyacinths, and sweet flag are good choices. Conceal the outer edges of your pond with additional moisture-loving plants and rocks for further interest and this will help make the pond look natural in it's surroundongs.

Moving water adds character to the garden, and both waterfalls and fountains make pleasant accents. Garden centers and professional pond retailers offer many types of easy, do-it-yourself kits that fit nearly any budget or garden design.

You may want to consider adding a fountain or waterfall feature and will little effort you can create an attractive cascade to add life to the pond. Remeber though to clean out the pump filter at least twice a year to avoid it clogging up !
