Naturalising a new pond

Question

What's the best way to make a new pond look natural?

Pawel · Answer

Aquatic plants provide much needed shelter and protection from predators.  Include planting shelves. Place boulders intermittently between baskets planted up with plants, merging with the rim of the pond for a natural progression from land into water while also secure the pond liner in place.

We can help if you are interested.  We have made a waterfall which looks very natural using slates and boulders to integrate the water with the surrounding. It’s also important to use oxygen enriching plants. Sarah  Revamp

Liner – butyl liners are the easiest way to create a natural-shaped pond. Pre-formed plastic or fibreglass ponds don't usually have a shallow slope (see above), so you would need to add a ramp. For larger, natural ponds consider liners of puddled clay or sodium bentonite.
