Five Tips For An Elegant
Water Garden

To add a professional landscaper’s look to your yard, install a Frame It All water feature quickly and easily:

Pick A location.
A water feature, or pond, can be the focal point of a landscape or an elegant accent. It’s gentle trickling sound can add ambience to or be the centerpiece of your yard. Choose a location keeping in mind that nearby trees can provide a beautiful natural framework for your pond. However, they can also mean more cleaning as they’ll drop leaves, twigs and other debris into the water.

Determine the type of water feature.
With Frame It All, your options are limitless. You can build a multi-tiered waterfall that cascades down a slope on your property or install a simple pond. Figure into this decision where the water feature will be placed, and its relative importance in the overall landscape of your yard. You can build a totally above ground pond or dig down to have submerge the pond into your land.

Sketch Your idea
For a water feature, its best to sketch your idea to determine how high and wide it should be, where the pump will reside, where pipes will run, how water will feed and return to the pool, etc. Your sketch will also help you determine the materials you’ll need to make your water garden.

Choose The Right Framework
Frame It All composite timbers are ideal because they won’t rot, are warp-resistant, and can be easily trimmed with a handsaw to meet your design needs.  There are also no sharp edges or exposed nail heads to puncture liners or get clogged in pumps

Consult An Aquatics Specialist
Talk to your local aquatics specialist (either at a home & garden center, swimming pool store or a local Landscape specialists) to determine the size of pumps, piping and other elements that are appropriate to your plan. Work with a certified electrician to assure proper voltage will be safely delivered to your pump and water feature.
