If you have a garden that is set on many different ground levels it can be the perfect place to install a garden pond. Having a split level water feature or garden pond will mean that you can incorporate waterfalls and water courses into the pond design to really make something of your garden feature.

Whilst a garden pond on one level looks brilliant, having a sloping garden can mean you can have two or more pond levels and have streams or different types of interconnecting water flow between them. The overall affect can look stunning.

When installing a pond system on sloping ground you need to make sure that the pond design is done correctly and the ground can structurally hold the quantity of water you will add to the pond. This may mean shoring the earth in different locations and then backfilling or adding more earth around higher level pools to hold everything in place. You may even need to build retaining walls or get a structural engineer to oversee the construction if you have any doubts. But, when the design is finished the pond will certainly be the focal point of your garden.
