The Depth Of Your Pond Should Be Determined By If You Want Plants And Fish, Space And If You Plan To Hire A Professional Maintenance Co. Or DIY. One of the most important decisions you can make about your pond is the depth.  If you plan on having fish or aquatic plants, you need to have a deeper pond area to accommodate growth, ample living space or, in the case of certain plants, if they need less sunlight to thrive.  For Koi ponds, you should have at least 3 feet of depth or more to not only supply them enough room but to have a larger volume of water to combat any polluting effects on the pond that the fish may trigger. Some ponds need to be a bit deeper so fish have a chance to hibernate in winter.  Research the types of plants and fish you would like, if any, and follow the recommendations for a healthy volume of water they need to thrive in. Another factor to the depth of your pond comes down to the issue of maintenance.  In general, larger ponds ...

When Picking The Right Site, Keep In Mind That Your Pond Should Get At Least 6 Hours Of Sun Per Day, Avoid Ample Tree Overhang And Have Access To Power And Water. Many factors go into selecting the perfect spot for your backyard pond so here are a few things to consider before you make a final decision. SUN - A choice spot should get at least six hours of sun each day.  Preferably, you'll want to catch the morning sun but provide shade in the afternoon.  Shade is crucial to keeping the water cool and providing algae control so try to estimate where in your outdoor space can you take advantage of each sun phase. TREES - Be cautious about placing your pond underneath the overhang of trees. Fruits and leaves fall into your pond and can clog the system so unless you plan on performing or hiring someone for daily maintenance, choose carefully.  If you have no choice but to use a tree to provide afternoon shade, take into account what falls from your trees and ...
