Making a Pond Using Aquascape Pond Supplies

Whether you are building a water garden over the weekend, or looking to make your own backyard pond, Aquascape has everything you need to easily create your own masterpiece in nature. From underwater lights to lavish waterfalls, Aquascape offers all the necessary products with easy installation allowing you to create a pond that both expresses your style while developing an ecosystem that works with nature.

 

Aquascape pond supplies are available for those who are looking to do-it-themselves, as well as professional pond builders. With their complete line of products, a pond can easily be installed by following a simple series of steps. Begin by marking off the area of your pond and determining the placement of the Biofalls skimmer and filter. Both of these products offer easy installation and keep your pond looking and functioning great. Next, you will lay out your plumbing and hook up the filter. When these few preparations are completed, you are ready to excavate your pond. Once the area is cleared, install the Aquascape underlayment and liner. These two products offer a solid foundation for your pond, are safe for fish, and prevent gasses from building up beneath the liner. Finally, finish installing the skimmer, and the basis for your pond is set. Now you are ready to add the decorative touches, often with rocks.

 

Rocks come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, each offering distinct effects to the overall look of your pond. Be sure to place your underwater lights in the rocks for an added touch of beauty. When these components are in place, you are ready to fill up your pond.

 

After the pond is filled with water, you will want to construct your waterfall. The waterfall has several functions, the main ones being offering beauty to the design, and maintaining a healthy level of bacteria to keep the water clean. Waterfalls are easy to construct using your Aquascape filter as the base, which is easily hidden under the design elements. Once your waterfall is constructed, you are ready to fill in the surrounding areas with topsoil and build your retaining wall, usually with rocks.

 

Determining how to decorate around your pond is based largely on the plants and materials available, as well as personal preference. When it comes to the design, the options are virtually endless. Aquascape offers a beautiful structure with rocks and underwater lights that are easily accented by plants and wildlife. When you have finished the design of your pond, Aquascape maintenance products, such as bacteria, help to maintain the health of your pond allowing you to enjoy it for years to come.
