DIY Pond: Building Your Own Eco-Friendly Oasis

Fancy making a pond yourself? It’s a killer weekend project and not as daunting as it sounds. Grab some durable liner, plot out where you want your water and plant zones to be, and get planting. Those aquatic plants are key—they clean the water naturally, meaning less fuss for you. Add a small waterfall for a touch of style, plus it keeps the water oxygen-rich.

Morgan Brown and the folks at Total Habitat suggest throwing in a UV sterilizer as a modern touch to zap any lurking germs, keeping your swim safe and sound. Roll up your sleeves, get stuck in, and before you know it, you’ll have a stunning, natural pond that’s all DIY. Talk about bragging rights!
