Every Journey Starts With a Single Step...
Step 1 - Locate and Mark Out Your Pond Area

  • Locate the pond close to a patio or a deck. The best place from which to view a pond is right next to it, so sticking it in the corner of the yard is not recom­mended.

  • We suggest that you use a plain old garden hose to define the shape of your new pond. The garden hose is ultimately flexible and can be pushed and pulled into various shapes allowing you to view and evalu­ate the design of the proposed pond.
  • Once you have the pond shaped and defined with your hose, take a can of brightly colored, highly visible spray paint and paint the shape (around the hose) on the grass, making it semi-permanent.
