Backyard Koi Pond
by
William J
(IC: homeowner)
We moved into a newly built home in the Old Fourth Ward in Atlanta. The backyard has a beautiful white oak, native to Georgia, but little else. We moved here from Phoenix and had a great Koi pond that also included turtles. We want to create a pond for the backyard in our new home. We miss the fish and the turtles.
*My motivation to do this project:
The yard has no landscaping at all, so we thought the addition of the pond would bring about the beginning of the landscaping of the yard.
*Project Steps:
I have measured the space for the elements we are contemplating. I will upload a plan on Friday.
Advice:
Be sure to note water drainage issues and correct any issues. Also lay out the block in the shape you desire before any permanent placement. Be certain that the block is level and square; start the permanent placement in a corner.
Materials:
100 X Cinder block - $125.00
1 X Water feature - $445.00
1 X Water feature pump - $195.00
1 X Pond Filter - $1100.00
1 X Pump for Filter - $800.00
