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.
Clear out a space around your pond to use to plant the evergreens. Make sure the space is at least 1-2 feet from the edge of the pond. Remove all weeds and rocks so the planting surface is clean and level. Rake the space to ensure all debris is gone.
