6 Simple Steps To Create A Backyard Pond

Looking to revamp your backyard this spring with a tranquil pond? Check out these six simple steps to create your

very own backyard pond!

1. Dig It Out

Strategically find a location in the backyard for the pond and start digging to the size

and shape that you want.

2. Lay The Liner

Cut a piece of liner to be roughly four feet or wider and longer than the pond. Center the

liner over the hole so the excess liner rests on the ground level. Place river rocks or masonry

bricks around the liner to firmly hold it in place.

3. Fill The Pond

Grab the hose and start filling the pond with water.

4. Install The Pump

Tsurumi pond pumps will keep the water circulating to prevent algae buildup and

reduces the chances of the pond becoming a breeding ground for insects like

mosquitoes.

5. Place Fish

Once your pond is up and running, let the fish swim freely, however, you must make

sure the water is treated specifically for the type of fish that will be living in the pond.

6. Enjoy

Start enjoying your backyard pond and make sure that you are regularly

maintaining it.
