Pond Building: Garden Pond Ideas – Planning your dream Pond

When it comes to your dream pond, every garden setup is different. You need to explore a few areas before you begin planning any pond build project. We break these down for you, to then be able to commit knowing you have looked at all thats required and involved.

The best place to start is to look at your reason for wanting a pond:

Are you looking to have the sound of flowing water?

Are you looking to keep fish?

Are you looking to attract wildlife?

Once you’ve agreed on the answer/s it’s time to explore the pond options that fit your requirements and of course the location..

Type of Pond: 

Ecosystem Pond – This is a low maintenance nature-inspired filtered pond. We design these ponds by mimicking nature with carefully selected materials and waterfalls that blend into the surrounding area. It is perfect for fish-keepers, those looking to attract aquatic wildlife and anyone who enjoys the sounds and sights of flowing water. These ponds can be built for any sized garden, from small unique designs to large surface area designs.

Still Wildlife Pond – A haven for wildlife and plants. Designed to be as natural as possible, just with plants and rockery that creates its own filtered eco system, without any mechanical pumps or filtration systems. A calming body of water that keeps developing over time, to create that natural feel to any garden. 

Location: 

As pond experts we will always consult with our customers to find the location that will provide maximum enjoyment from your pond.

Key questions would be:

Where do you spend most time in the garden? 

Where are the main viewing areas from inside the house looking out?

Our Tips: In terms of pond location, ensure that your pond will be visible from all areas of your garden and main seating and entertaining areas. We will always best advise this on our initial design visit, where we will detail why a certain area will compliment the garden and allow the pond to thrive.
