Pond Installer Alton

The first major factor to consider is going to be the placement of your pond, and this is something that you'll have to go over with your pond installer. A number of factors will have an impact on this including hidden cabling, pipes and tree roots. With certain local councils there may possibly be restrictions in regards to water features, and special by-laws could exist to cover such issues. Due to their expertise and local knowledge, a seasoned Alton pond installer will be able to mollify any uncertainties that you might have with regards to this.

Many local authorities for instance, stipulate that any garden ponds or water features to be set on any area which is open to the public must have safety features set up to safeguard the vulnerable. Children especially are often fascinated by water, and are naturally curious, and these safety measures are designed to protect against potential incidents. The chances of someone stumbling into your pond and perhaps even drowning is not something that you'd want to happen, whether it is a random passer-by or a loved one.

Probably the most crucial part of the process of building a pond is the actual placement. If next year you realize that it was put in an inappropriate spot, you can hardly just move it can you? The quantity of space that you've got and the actual composition of your garden will of course also have an impact on this.

If the arrangement of your garden allows, the optimum place for your pond is in an open and level position (not low-lying), south-facing, not beside trees, well-drained and preferably sheltered from prevailing winds. A similarly significant thing to consider when positioning a fish pond is its visual appeal, you obviously want to be able to view it from your patio area and home where possible, otherwise it will very quickly be neglected and you'll get little pleasure from it.

How you're planning to take care of your pond and keep its water clean and fresh will also be somewhat influenced by where you decide to place it. The possibility of flooding or water seepage into your home, should also be considered when positioning and designing your water feature or pond. This may call for the construction of extra drainage or spillways to divert extra water away and this is another procedure whereby the help and guidance of a professional will be vital. A lot of water features will be needing some form of cleaning and filtering arrangement to keep them in good condition.

For assistance with installing electric pumps and filtration systems, as well as the appropriate help and guidance with regards to the use of chemical products as well as other organic means of keeping the pond or water feature in good shape, you should also speak to a professional pond expert in Alton.

Pond Edging

Edging Your Pond in Alton: Gouging out a hole and putting a liner in it isn't the only aspect to consider when you're building a garden pond. You will have to decide with what and how you are going to finish off and embellish the edges. Seeing that the overall appearance of your new pond will in the end be defined by the sort of edging that you use, it's worth doing some groundwork and taking some time in coming to a decision. Generally the most interesting edging can be created by the use of stones or large pebbles, but in many instances this may not be suitable or feasible. Easy to shape and cut for any design, patio slabs are the most widely used edging material. Paving slabs need to be cemented in place and should overlap the pond perimeter by about 30mm or so to improve the appearance and stop sun damage to any exposed lining material.

Pond Liners Alton

While it's quite possible to construct a pond without the need for a liner, almost all garden ponds in Alton will be lined with either a rigid pre-formed, concrete or flexible pond liner. Just what the doctor ordered if you're hoping to finish your pond building project during the course of a weekend, rigid or pre-formed pond liners are available in all sizes and shapes and are generally constructed from fibreglass or hard plastic. Flexible pond liners made from a rubber material, provide you with considerably more choice with regards to the shape, depth and size of pond you can build, and for many householders in Alton this is the favourite option.

Pond Repair Alton

You might not notice a minor leak in your pond immediately, but if your water level starts falling substantially you'll need to repair it quickly. You could have an issue that is not associated with water loss, maybe your pump or filter system isn't working as it should, or there is a frequent tripping of your water supply. In each of these situations a pond specialist in Alton will provide guidance and repair services to rectify your issues.

If you are worried about falling water levels in your garden pond, it is best not to imagine the worst just yet. A pond liner, flexible or rigid, is designed to withstand some rough treatment and may not be the main source of every case of water loss. An experienced pond repair and maintenance company in Alton will check out pipes and places where water may be overflowing and seeping into the ground. There are a series of tests and inspections that a pond specialist will run through to identify the precise cause, and they will not push you into putting in a new pond liner unless it's necessary.
