Garden Pond Construction Choices, Part I

Garden Pond Construction Choices, Part I

Perhaps you are considering adding a water garden to your home’s landscaping. Water gardens allow you to create your own personal Shangri-la, with glorious plant life, vibrant fish, and mesmerizing crystal-clear water. There are several options to choose from when you get ready to actually build your water garden pool, so let’s dive in!

Some water garden pools are made of concrete, and have the look of a natural rock pond. There are also preformed plastic or fiberglass pools. Which type of pool you select depends upon your budget and the look you want to achieve.

First, let’s discuss the benefits of preformed plastic pools. While concrete pools certainly look more natural, the expense of installing one can break your bank account. Plastic pools are much more affordable, and they are easier to install as well. With a plastic pool, the only hard labor involved is digging the hole, which has to be done regardless of the type of pool you choose.

Plastic garden pond pools offer other advantages as well. For example, installing the preformed lining is a snap. Also, unlike concrete, you will not need to treat or season the plastic pool after it is installed. In some cases, plastic pools are actually more durable and resilient than concrete pools. Of course, they can be damaged, but leaks can be quickly and permanently repaired.
