My husband has always wanted to put a pond in our back yard garden.
When we first moved in to our house we landscaped the front and back yards and we now have a lovely rose garden. Well … it’s not all roses, it’s a good mix of roses, flowering plants and greenery. It’s quite beautiful.
The only major thing that’s possibly missing from our little back yard oasis is a pond or fountain. I think I can make some room for a pond fountain somewhere near the patio where we can enjoy it.
I think I’m going to do a little research as to how to put in a pond and what we’ll need .. you know, things like pond pumps a liner and maybe some pond plants and surprise my husband with my new knowledge. Then, maybe in April or early May we’ll start putting in a pond. It will have to be a small one, but I know he’ll love it.
Have you ever built your own pond or installed a garden fountain? Tips?

I recently spent £2500 on my garden, having it landscaped, a pond fitted and a new upvc conservatory, best money I ever spent!

ponds are a great addition to any garden, they mainly provide substitute living areas for all kinds of wildlife that are in danger from countryside pollution

Love to sit in the late evening and listen to running water. It is so soothing after a stress-filed day.

Really its a nice idea to have small pond or pool in a garden. We can put some little Gold Fishes in it or some other fish that you love to have and it will add beauty to it. Thanks for posting.
