hi, I have 2 ponds, which are just very standard and would like to make them look a bit nicer with a waterfall etc. I would love someone to perhaps design something or point me in a direction of websites where I can find different examples and step by ste guide?
Many thanks

    hi

    Could we get a wee bit more info....is it a modern/traditional garden they are to fit into? Will they be for wildlife, fish, swimming!

    Budget? - ponds are not cheap buy the time you buy liner etc as you know and if you modify them they would need relining, and pumps for waterfalls the same. (unless you have a fountain one that could be modified?)

    Just doing a quick google -

    Hi,

    I am not sure what budget - I have 2 ponds - both round-ish about 2 - 2,5m diemeter about 50cm deep. It has quite a lot of plants in them, so will probably need to thin it down. I have gold fish in both and a lot of wildlife. I also have rocery to go round and a small sollar powered fountain.
    I Would like a small waterfall coming to one of the ponds (sollar fountain on top perhaps with a small water tank at the top. I would like 2 water features (fountains inc pump and uv light - 1 in each to keep the water clean etc - think can get these for ab £30 each) I assume rocery could go round etc. also have a fence around both ponds to keep my kids out. Both ponds are seperated by a bridge.

    I have a rough idea what i would like, but having it on paper would make it a bit easier etc.

    Any ideas?
    Thank you
