Research plants native to your area that can be used to shade a garden pond. Native plants require less maintenance and have a higher chance of flourishing. Also, make sure you know how tall and wide the plant will be when fully mature. This will help you when spacing out your plants.
Measure the pond outline to determine how much liner you will need. To do this, determine how deep you want your pond to be and double this number: for example, double a 4-foot pond to 8 feet. Then add the width and the amount of the doubled depth, plus 2 feet for overlap, and do the same for the height.The resulting numbers will be the size liner you need.emove the grass from the pond area using a flat shovel, going about 6 inches outside of the perimeter you drew. Dig out the pond, going approximately 2 inches below the depth you need for your pond to make room for settlement. Remove any roots or sharp stones from the hole, as these can damage your liner.
