Pond location and pond size are the two most important
and, unfortunately, misunderstood aspects of pond design.
So many people think the far corner of their property
is the best location. People also believe low points
in their yard that gather run-off when it rains are
naturally suited to building a pond.
These are two of the worst locations to build a pond,
yet people automatically assume they are the best.
The water feature needs to be brought up close and
personal to the home. Low spots should be avoided because
run-off water can pollute a pond and construction is
often complicated because wet muddy soil is hard to
work in. Excessive ground water levels can shift stone
and cause bubbles in the liner.
Place your water feature where people can enjoy it.
Even outdoor-loving people spend 90% of their time
inside the house. You should try to face the waterfalls
toward the house. That way the waterfall is not only
visible from the living area, but the sound it creates
will echo through the home. When a pond can be seen
and heard from the home, its enjoyment is increased
dramatically.
Another location you might not have considered is
a front yard water feature. Adding a water feature
to your front yard adds true curb appeal.
