Large Ponds |

The ponds pictured have all been built using heavy duty butyl liners which are ideal for informal shapes. The main area is excavated to the required shape and a shelf built around the perimeter to anchor the butyl liner down using a concrete footing. This keeps the bank of the pond area solid and soil can then be graded over the top to allow grass or water marginals to be planted. Depending on the situation, other methods can be used? Most ponds will require some form of pump and filtration system in order to circulate the water keep it clear. The addition of water marginals and water plants helps to oxygenate the pond and to balance the PH which stops the water turning green and stagnating.

The depth of a pond will also make a difference to the PH and the colour of the water. In the two ponds pictured below the deepest part is 1.5m. This stops the water from heating up too quickly in the warmer summer months and allows fish like koi carp to be introduced.
