Choose a suitable location for your wildlife pond. Mark the shape and size. Start digging the pond, creating shelves for plants and wildlife to access the water.
Line the pond with a pond liner to prevent water seepage. Ensure the liner is securely in place, smoothing out any wrinkles or folds to create a watertight seal.
Add a layer of sand or protective underlay over the liner to prevent punctures. Fill the pond with water, allowing it to settle and adjust to the surroundings.
Introduce aquatic plants around the edges and shelves of the pond to provide shelter and food for wildlife. Consider adding rocks or logs for additional habitat.
Monitor the water quality regularly and maintain the pond by removing debris and controlling algae growth. Enjoy watching the wildlife that will be attracted to your new pond.
