Before you begin:
The most important advice for choosing a location we can provide is to find an area that
offers enough level space in a “High Ground” area of your yard that fits your intentions.
Avoiding low lying area offers the best protections against the potential of water runoff causing
flooding, or unwanted residues of herbicides, pesticides, or other hazardous garden chemicals
that can adversely affect your ponds’ ecosystem.
Considerations for creating viewpoints from the most commonly used areas of your yard, deck, or
patio, coupled with a line of sight from inside your home is also highly recommended.
Access to GFCI power at a safe distance (five feet) is another primary consideration.
