Q: I don’t want to dig. Can I build an above-ground pond?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering how to build a pond above ground, it&rsquo;s similar to building a pond below ground. Instead of digging, choose a plastic tub and install the same type of pond kit. Many homeowners find above-ground ponds a bit easier to install and maintain. Before getting started, learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-develop-landscaping-plan-your-yard.htm">how to design the landscape</a> of your dreams,</p></div>

Q: What are some creative ideas for repurposing the area where the pool was?

• <div><p>After you fill in your pool, you can add trees and plants that help stabilize the soil. You might decide not to fill it in at all and find another use for the sunken area instead. A few ideas include creating a seating area or garden inside the empty pool. Depending on its size, you could create a place to roller-skate or install basketball hoops for an unconventional court. </p></div>

Q: How thick of a pond liner do I need?

• <div><p>In addition to length and width, pond liners also come in various thickness levels. Thickness is measured in mils, a unit of measurement equal to one-thousandth of an inch, with most pond liners ranging from 15 to 60 mils in thickness. The smaller the number, the thinner (and weaker) the liner. To prevent rips and tears, it&rsquo;s best to choose a pond liner that&rsquo;s at least 30 mils thick.</p></div>

Q: How much water do misters use?

• <div><p>Most home misters use <b>several cups of water</b> in a couple of minutes, or around a <b>gallon per hour of use</b>. That varies greatly depending on the size of the system and the power of the pump. If you are using professional services, you should ask about water use for your planned system when you&rsquo;re getting an estimate. If you are using a water tank, make sure it&rsquo;s filled before operation.</p></div>

Q: Should a water feature be in the sun or shade?

• <div><p>Placing your water feature in direct sun can speed up evaporation, leading to pump damage and algae growth. Shade or partial shade serves as the ideal location for most water features&mdash;just watch out for tree and plant debris that may fall in and clog the pump. </p></div>
