Choose a Location: Find a spot with partial sun, away from trees. Mark the pond shape using a hose or rope.
Dig the Pond: Start digging the pond shape, creating shelves for plants and wildlife to access the water easily.
Install Pond Liner: Lay a pond liner over the hole, ensuring it reaches all corners and edges to prevent leaks.
Add Water and Plants: Fill the pond with water and add aquatic plants like water lilies and oxygenators to create a balanced ecosystem.
Introduce Wildlife: Allow the pond to settle for a few days before introducing wildlife like frogs, newts, and insects.
Maintain Your Pond: Regularly remove debris, control algae growth, and monitor water quality to keep your wildlife pond thriving.
