Pond making: Plan the perfect pond

If you've ever dreamed about adding a water feature to your garden but were interrupted by the nightmare of actually doing it, let us break it down for you. Our six steps will help you plan the perfect pond.

Define your goals
Are you interested in fish, or do you care more about unusual plants? Is hearing the relaxing sound of water your main objective? Clarifying your goals will help you choose the right site, size, and design for your water feature.

Choose the site
