Ponds, pools and streams can transform the most ordinary gardens and patios, whatever the size and style.

Weekend DIY: Garden Ponds shows readers how to enhance their gardens by giving them the skills and knowledge necessary to plan, construct and maintain the ideal pond, whether it is an informal wildlife pond with wild planting or a formal raised pond with a fountain and decorative edging. 

An introductory chapter covers essential information on tools, materials and techniques, including choosing the right liner, excavating the area and fitting pumps and filters, as well as maintaining the pond, while the projects themselves give inspiration and guidance on creating a range of stunning garden ponds.
