52 Tips for Selecting a Pond kit, Pond Construction and Maintenance(13)

19. We want to put the pond under a big tree. Will this work?

Trees and bushes near trees can look very nice but will require additional care in construction and maintenance. When excavating the pond or creek bed, the roots can be in the way. To simply remove the roots may damage the tree. As the tree grows, its roots can damage poor concrete and mortared rockwork. Also, trees drop a lot of debris in the pond. Most pond kits do not have skimmers that would entrap any floating debris. Pine and redwood needles can be particularly difficult because they can pass through most skimmers and leaf baskets and lodge at the entrance to the pump impellor.
