4.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource for first-time Pond builders!, March 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Complete Introduction to Garden Ponds: Completely Illustrated in Full Color (Paperback)

This book is well-arranged and comprehensive. It's essentially a beginner's book - the language and illustrations could help even a 9-year old get started. Advice on construction, flora and wildlife it can sustain and maintenance makes planning a water garden or pond easy. This book is cheaper than other books in the same subject category. I used another book - How to Build Ponds and Waterfalls : The Complete Guide by Reid as much as I used this one while building my backyard pond.

I have seven other books on pond,waterfall and stream building, and I found this one to have some of the best pictures, written instructions and techniques. It's not overly detailed, and it makes a good book for someone who would like an overview of what should be done if you want to construct your own water feature.
