The best area is a partly shaded area that isn’t below too many trees. The shade keeps the water cooler and slows down algae growth.
When we dig the pond we make sure it’s at least 2 feet at the deepest point. This is deep enough that it won’t freeze during winter, which means you won’t have to move or worry about any fish. We also dig shelves around the sides for plants.
The liner keeps the water in the pond. We cover it in rocks to give the pond bottom a more natural look and to protect it from the sun which can damage it.
Pumps move the water and filters keep it clean and clear. Some additions can help keep it cleaner and clearer for longer and help lower your maintenance in general. Autofills and IonGens are perfect examples of this.
“I like it. Short and easy to understand, well done,” Jeff says. “Are there any other questions you have about how to build a koi pond? If you think of some later you can always call or email me,” the contractor assures the couple.
“Let’s go ahead and start!” Tracy blurts excitedly.
