The Complete Pond Builder - Everything you need to know about creating a water garden paradise. 144 pages.
The author of The Pond Doctor begins with a chapter on pond construction basics and continues with chapters on preformed (usually made of strong plastics), lined, concrete, raised and semiraised, and earth ponds; waterfall and stream construction; pond edgings; pumps and filtration; and such other water features as fountains, stepping-stones, bridges, and islands. There are color photographs and drawings throughout, and also a list of water garden plants. Nash aims the book at amateur builders, but beware; many of these projects, especially the larger ponds, will not be easy.
The tranquility of water has the power to calm frazzled nerves and soothe a weary soul. As our modern world increases in complexity, the simple serenity of water becomes ever more enticing. Create a magic world all your own with glittering shadows that bounce off the kitchen walls, or build a hidden pond in a clearing in the woods as an escape from everyday pressures. Whatever style or use you choose, you'll find all you need to make the dream a reality. Go beyond just a hole in the ground, and experiment with raised ponds, waterfalls, streams, and more. For those without the know-how to design a pond, or lacking the funds to hire a builder, practical advice and inspiring photos will help you realize your fantasy garden.
