The most common mistakes when arranging a pond on a site

Many owners of their own homes with personal plots dream of creating a small reservoir. Of course, the pond will give a special chic and originality to your landscape design. But before you start creating it, be sure to consider the most common mistakes that may occur on the way to your dream.

Number 1 Wrong Mass Choice

Some people approach this issue extremely irresponsibly. Very often any free piece of land is selected. This is wrong, the following rules should be followed:

• Near the pond, there should not be large and powerful trees. A constantly growing root system, in the future, can cause damage to the waterproofing of the reservoir. From falling leaves, the pond will be very often polluted;
• The pond should not be in open space. Direct exposure to sunlight, has a beneficial effect on the flowering of algae and the development of microorganisms, as a result you will get a constant flowering of the reservoir.

No. 2 Uncertainty in destination

It is very important, at the initial stage of construction, to decide for what purposes the reservoir will be used. The fact is that for a simple decorative pond that has only plants and algae, and for a fish reservoir, completely different technologies are required.

No. 3 Uncertainty with dimensions

Determining the size of the pond, you should not start from the scale of the site. Everything should depend on your capabilities, whether you can look after him yourself or pay for specialized workers. Left without a reservoir, it will quickly turn into a swamp and will become a good environment for the development of various infections.

No. 4 Excessive savings on building materials

At all stages of construction, it is recommended to use only high quality materials. The same goes for hired professionals. So you will be sure that your pond will last a very long time and there will be no interruptions in its work.

No. 5 Design Errors

When constructing ponds in areas located in low-lying areas, a drain of excess water must be provided. With an increase in the water level in a body of water due to nearby groundwater, flooding of the entire site may occur.

We hope that you will take into account all common mistakes and create a unique, extraordinary beauty pond.
