Exactly How I Design My DIY Backyard Ponds

In this video I walk through the simple process I use when designing my backyard ponds. We’ll cover: • Pond size and water volume • Choosing animals and managing waste • Why filtration matters • Skimmers, intake bays and bog filters • Water circulation and flow • Streams, waterfalls and aeration • Planning your pond layout and budget There are heaps of different ways to build a pond, but over the years I’ve found myself moving toward systems that are simple, low maintenance and forgiving. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is creating a pond that is enjoyable to live with and easy to maintain long term. If you want to learn more about the systems I use, I’ve put together free calculators, articles and videos over on the Ozponds website. 🌿 Free Pond Tools & Resources: https://ozponds.com 📘 Pond Formulas Blueprint: https://ozponds.com/pond-with-bog-fil... 💬 Share your pond or contact me: https://ozponds.com/contact/ The Ozpond System: The Pond Formulas Blueprint walks through the same design process I use in my own ponds.
