2. A pond never fails to make something out of your garden. It is your choice
however if you’d have the addition of something that will give the look and
feel of your garden a pleasant boost or not. Then again, as the cost of
building a pond and installing the water pumps and the other equipments
that complete it can sum up to a good amount of money, you are surely
should be after a one that’s well-done.
One of the things that are essential to the building of a garden pond that is
worth your time, money and effort is a working design. In other words, you
have to come up with a pond design that works best for your garden and for
its purpose.
A working pond design is not only one that pleases the eye. This is even
when you want this new structure to be the focal point of the garden or even
of the entire lawn. You should consider its size relative to the size of the
garden, the purpose of the pond, and the ease its design offers you when it
comes to maintenance.
The size of the pond in relation to the size of the whole garden or the whole
lawn should also be considered. A garden pond that is too small for an
expansive garden can look out of place. And this will not be good if you want
the structure to be something that draws the eyes of people who step foot in
this place. You can be forgiving of the pond’s size though if your garden is
not that vast. Size also matters when it comes to the search for pond
equipments, For instance, bigger ponds require submersible pumps.
What you want the pond for is a major consideration for its design. Garden
ponds can be used to raise aquatic plants or hydrophytes such as water
lilies. They could also serve as spaces to raise fish in. Or they could be both
of this as in the common case of lilies with kois and/or carps. Basically, when
you’ll have a pond where some kind of ecosystem will thrive you should take
into account the required water depth and thriving space per individual per
species.

will not be enough to keep your pond in the best condition. You have to get
your hands wet in maintaining it regularly. For this, you’ll need the pond’s
design to give you ease at moving stuff in and around the structure. Pipes,
hoses and submerged equipment parts will need checking from time to time
so you better incorporate these factors when conceptualizing the layout of
the pond.
Designing the look and layout of your pond could be the fun part of the
project for you. However, your fun should have a tinge of logic and
practicality too. For this, remember the things that make a pond design
worth it.
