Where should I put my pond?

Here are some important things for you to consider:

• Place your pond in a place that will maximize your enjoyment. Consider putting it in a place where you can easily view it from rooms where you spend a lot of your   time, such as kitchen or family room. Ponds and waterfalls make wonderful additions to the outdoor areas where you relax and entertain such as decks and patios.
   

• Some sunlight is good - too much can cause problems. About 1/2 day of sun is usually sufficient to ensure healthy plant growth. Excess sunlight can cause green algae growth, however this unwanted growth can be countered using a number of methods, which are explained in the section title "How to get rid of green water?".
   

• Ponds can be put under trees, but you may encounter trouble working around tree roots, and you may have problems with falling flower blossoms and leaves falling into the pond.
