Man, are small garden ponds ever getting popular nowadays. Wish you had a small pond in your yard but thought it involved too much work and planning? Can’t afford a professional to install one for you? Like the idea of a refreshing pond and waterfall as the centerpiece for your landscape? In this stress-filled world we live in, ponds can be worth their weight in tranquilizers. In this easy-to-follow DVD, homeowner and part-time pond builder, David Welch actually walks you through the steps in hand-digging a 2 foot deep, 14 foot diameter pond on his 10 acre property. Some of the things you will learn are:
How to install the flexible rubber liner
Protecting your liner's bottom from punctures
How to dig and shape the pond sides
Increasing beneficial algae
Cutting and installing flagstone to create beautiful edges
How to get your pond's edges perfectly level
Using flagstone to build a beautiful 3 step waterfall
Pump and electrical wiring installation
What to do with excess material left from digging your hole
The costs in materials and time
This DVD was designed for the first time pond builder. If you can dig a hole with a shovel and use basic carpentry tools, you can build a pond like this. The DVD is meant to give you many, many ideas which you can then take and use to design your own beautiful creation. Even if you plan on hiring a professional for the job, this video will still give you ideas and knowledge you will find helpful when talking to your installer. And if that's not enough, at the end of this informative video, you will enjoy several minutes of video of the finished landscaped pond set to classical music. Even if you have no plans on building a pond, you would enjoy the shots of the beautifully finished pond. So watch the DVD, read a couple pond-building books, and dig the pond of your dreams. It’s good healthy exercise, you don’t have to pay health club dues, and you'll be your family's hero.
