Troubleshooting

Pond appears unstable or uneven.

Ensure the ground was properly leveled during installation. Remove pond from hole, re-level the base, and backfill with compacted sand or soil.

Excessive algae growth.

Reduce direct sunlight exposure by planting around the pond edges or using shade sails. Ensure adequate filtration and consider adding beneficial bacteria or plants that compete with algae.

Pond liner is showing signs of wear (if an additional liner was used).

Inspect the liner for punctures or tears. Repair with appropriate pond liner patch kits. If damage is extensive, consider replacing the liner.

Wildlife is not utilizing the pond.

Ensure there are easy access and exit points (sloping edges or ramps). Plant aquatic and marginal plants to provide cover and food sources. Avoid introducing non-native species.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Choose a level location in your garden, ideally with partial shade to minimize excessive algae growth and temperature fluctuations.
Excavate the area to match the shape and depth of the pond, ensuring the edges are level.
Place the pond into the excavated hole and check that it sits level.
Backfill around the pond with sand or soil, compacting gently to provide support.
