Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Ponds are elegant features for your front or backyard, because you can add so many elements. Once you have lily pads, plants, tall grass, fish and rocks, you will start to see even more wildlife such as frogs and bunnies visiting your pond area. The one drawback of a pond is the liner, which can be challenging to disguise.

Vinyl liners prevent the pond water from dissipating into the soil, but it has to be installed carefully so that it won’t tear. Roots and rocks that remain after excavation need to be removed, because these can cause rips and tears, but after the liner is set in the ground, how can you hide it?

Piling stones around the edges of the pond help to form a border, and this is an attractive and easy way to hide the liner. To do this, you will need to dig out a shelf that starts just below the water line. Or you can plant ground covering plnats and tall grasses.
