Pond Building Tips
The popularity of backyard ponds continues to grow at a vigorous pace. With the availability of better equipment, and the advent of complete pond kits, construction has never been easier. If you have been thinking about building a pond, don't put it off until spring. For many reasons, fall is the best time to plan and build.

Spring rains can delay construction for weeks. Fall weather is dryer, cooler, and usually more predictable. On average, you lose fewer days to rain, and the ground is easier to work.
Planting hardy marginal (bog) plants in early fall allows them time to get rooted. During fall, plants focus their energy on root development rather than foliar (leaf) growth. When spring arrives, they have enough stored energy for lush, healthy growth.
Perimeter landscaping with hardy plants is always best accomplished in fall. Plants get better established and will be more heat resistant by summer.
Filling the pond with water in the fall enables the pond to settle and mature. You should experience less of an algae problem, if any, as the pond reaches proper bacterial balance during cooler fall weather.
When the water temperature warms to the appropriate level in spring, your pond will be ready for the introduction of oxygenating and floating plants.
Pond construction can be easier if done in stages.

Site Selection Tip
The site for your future pond must receive a minimum of six hours of sunlight across two-thirds of its surface on a daily basis, if you plan to have blooming pond plants. Too much sun can overheat the water and reduce oxygen, as well as promote excessive algae growth. Many ponds need shade during the hottest part the day. Locate your pond close to your home to provide additional shade and to simplify electrical and water hook-ups. Best of all, it will provide you with the best indoor view of your pond.
