How Do You Build A Garden Pond And Waterfall?
Creating a backyard garden pond with a waterfall is a challenging landscaping project. However, the finished result will add beauty and relaxation to your yard and garden. Choose a spot for your garden pond and waterfall that gets at least partial sun throughout the day. Use the long garden hose to outline the shape of your planned pond. You may also use rope or string and wooden stakes, but the garden hose is handy and works well. Be sure to purchase enough pond liner to cover the entire pond base. Dig the pond with a shovel and pick if necessary. Remove any roots far back from the planned inside surface of the garden pond. Dig the pond with a shallow area ideal for marginal plants and a deeper section for submerged plants and to overwinter fish. Also dig a small section outside the pond shape for the waterfall feature. This should be large enough to run a water line and house the pond pump. Smooth a layer of sand at the bottom of the pond hole and lay the pond liner sub-liner over it
