Tips and Tricks

First, let your backyard decide. The first question

that comes to mind is where to make the pond? In most

cases, home owners just find an open spot in their

yard and immediately start working. The result? Still

your own plain backyard with a pond. Home owners have

to integrate the pond into their existing landscape.

The pond will fail to compliment the overall design

and feel of the property. In situations like these,

the presence of a pond can actually diminish the

beauty of a home landscape
