I gave my science teacher a plan for the garden and I said a pool and she said it's a good idea. But gotta find out the instructions and then I found this video! This video is really helpful! Hope we make our pond maybe! Thank you! ♡

How much does something like this cost to do?

Marketing TotalPond - 6 years ago

Hi Mr. McCann! A DIY pond of this size can cost around $200 depending on the optional decor and edging material, like mulch or rocks.

What depth did you make the pond

Marketing TotalPond - 7 years ago

Hello, this pond is approximately 1.5 ft. in depth. We recommend deeper (around 2-3 ft.) if planning to incorporate ornamental fish, like koi.

It's awesome. But I find it funny how she keeps smiling through the digging part of the video. Feels like a TV-shop kind of thing :D

should not have bark around a pond

Hassan Paywandi - 7 years ago

great video. what kind of ongoing maintenance is required? do the water for instance need to be drained and changed once a while? I live in Canada so winter is cold and likely the water will freeze: does it mean the water has to be drained prior to winter? thanks for your reply....

Marketing TotalPond - 7 years ago

Hello, Hassan. Seasonal maintenance is always required (http://bit.ly/2pZidln). But if you stay vigilant and start a routine, you shouldn't need to drain your pond. During the winter, draining isn't necessary but we do recommend "winterizing" your pond products (https://youtu.be/VnrparA81Zk). Great questions!

Shoreasiamensis Shoreasiamensis - 7 years ago

Good question... :-)

Marketing TotalPond - 8 years ago

Hi Maribel, it all depends on the number of products you use in your pond. However, your bills shouldn't go up too much!

Ethan Knight - 8 years ago

Or you can dig a hole and buy a 15 dollar solar filter, the liner is pointless if you pack the soil in enough

wast of water i say :D

Luis Hernandez - 8 years ago

easy you see how much you dag?????

garufia - 8 years ago

Hi allI would advice making the area around the whole perimeter of the pond raised a few inches at least. The reason for this is just in case it rains heavily and all the surrounding water won't wash into the pond. The reason for this is that if you treat your lawn with fertilizers the chemicals will wash into the pond as well.

Very nice whats the cost?

Joshua Bowman - 8 years ago

+Bulldogfishmaster The underlayment and liner will be $60-150 together, depending on the size, all the rest of the cost is decorative. It can be as cheap or as expensive as you want.

HayBay - 9 years ago

+Bulldogfishmaster I think it can be 250 dollars.

visualkeirockstar - 9 years ago

is the under layerment required? i think im not gonna use it.

Marketing TotalPond - 9 years ago

+visualkeirockstar An underlayment isn't required, but we suggest using one to avoid rocks and other debris from puncturing your liner.

Don't follow this video you will end up with a bad pond. If you wont to find a good video go +Pondguru Outdoors . this pond will end up with dead fish.

Can you have one pump working two things like a squirter and a waterfall or is it all separate and what do you need to actually do that. Thank you if you do reply :)

Marketing TotalPond - 8 years ago

+Fey Buffalo Hello! Great question. You could potentially use a Y-shaped diverter on your tubing to run two water features such as those.

Do ponds need filter

Hi Luis! Although it is not required, filtration is recommended for ponds, especially if there are fish. Filtration helps keep your pond clean and clear.
