If you’ve ever walked into a garden store and admired the landscaping ponds on display, you may have been wondering if they were called “hardscapes.” What is a landscape? It is the artistic use of landscaping to create a beautiful, soothing garden feature. It is an extremely popular genre of garden design which uses concrete pavers, stone, brick, sand, and even natural stone in unique ways to create ponds, fountains, birdbaths, waterfalls and other unique features.

In this article I’m going to talk about how to build your first landscape garden pond. You should have access to a large enough size pond for your desired landscaping style. You will need to choose a few different pieces of landscaping equipment to help you.
Let’s begin with some of the basics. One of the biggest decisions you’re going to face is where to put your landscape pond in your garden. There are two primary reasons why someone would want a garden pond. The first reason is to create additional space for relaxing. The second reason is because some gardens are actually a great place for fish to hide and lay eggs.
Choosing your location is important. One of the best things you can do is to first determine which part of your garden you want to place the pond. Some people will want to situate it to get a natural perspective from their pond. If this is the case, the best thing you can do is to install a pond liner across the pond from the water source. This will not only give you the best views, but it also will greatly reduce the amount of shade in your garden.
If you don’t have pond liner place across the pond, there are other options for the location of your landscape pond. Other options include placing it underneath a tree, or behind some rocks. The type of landscape you have will play a large factor into the liner you choose. Rocks are an easy way to hide the pond without sacrificing much needed sunlight. Trees will provide shade without losing the beauty of the landscape. It’s often possible to use a tree as part of your landscaping theme without losing the natural beauty of the pond.
In order to keep water temperatures where they need to be most of the year, water tanks are available that utilize pond liner. This material works great in creating watertight containers around the outside of the pond. Liners can also be used in conjunction with garden pond liners. Water Garden liners work great in protecting your pond from leaves and debris. These liners are also a great way to prevent damage to garden equipment such as sprinklers and ladders.
There are many options available when it comes to adding a water feature to your garden. Adding a pond liner will help make this possible. If you choose this route, be sure to consult with an expert in the field to determine what types of options are best for your particular pond, location and budget. There is no doubt that there is a solution out there for your unique hardscape needs.
