My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ponds with dirt with a liner

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

I'm getting ready to make a pond. I'm going to put in a liner, and pump. I'd like to put a layer of dirt so plants can naturally spread. I'm wondering if I need to add anything for the pump and what to add to keep it clean?
