Need help building or maintaining a pond?

Check out my youtube channel. There I share how I designed my ponds, how I built them and how I maintain them.

If you would like a handy downloadable pdf that has the formulas I use when designing a pond you can find a link to that by clicking the button below.

Or you could give me your pond dimensions and I could draw a little diagram for you (I’m a terrible drawer, so be warned). On the drawing or in an accompanying email I’ll talk about the bog filter size, the pump flow rates, skimmers or intake bays (to help reduce maintenance), any circulation jets, waterfalls ect. Then you would build it yourself.
