DU Waterscapes were called in to create a new wildlife pond on the foothills of Dartmoor National Park.

Lovely creation. Enjoy hearing about the aquatic planting you do, and would also love to hear your thoughts on different planting around the pond.
Nice!😎☀️🐸
It looks phenomenal.
Thank you
Cracking job
Just a lovely pond. What oxygenators did you use in the pond too ?
Really neat. How do wildlife ponds without filtration stay clear? Does anything need to be added to the water periodically?
Regularly treating with Beneficial bacteria treatments is crucial
Please explain what you mean by double layer of liner because it looks like you put two separate pieces of liner together and then you said you added another layer of “ heavy duty fabric”. What does that mean please? What is heavy duty fabric? Are so many rocks on the base of the pond to stop water getting inbetween the two liner sections? Why could you not use one length of liner as it wasn’t a very big pond? The film was speeded up over the most important section!
Heavy duty fabric is a geosynthetic mating that is used on both sides of the liner to protect it and provide structural support underneath. We may have used smaller pieces as we try and minimise wastage in line with our company ethos.
Hi did you add soil to the pond. Also did you put the stones straight onto the liner?
We created a separate bog garden in this one; so when the pond overflows it goes into that area to saturate it.
Any stones go onto a heavy duty underlay/ fabric; massive stones will go on top of a layer of rounded gravel to disperse the weight. Hope that helps 💪🏼
