How Do I Work Out How Many Litres Of Water It Takes To Fill A Garden Pond? I Have A Pond Of 12m X 9m.?

I’m putting in a pond. I’m at the scoping out stage of the project. Armour cable, filter, pump etc. What I need to know is what size pump would I need if my pond is 12m x 9m? I’m intending to keep a few fish and garden plants.

What Is The Average Cost For Small Landscaping Jobs?

We have some uneven spots in our yard and would like to have some trees planted. We already have red granite along the sides of the house and the garage, but the plastic edging is not straight in some places. Due to very hectice schedules, we are thinking about hiring a professional landscaping service. Just curious if anyone has done that and what the costs might be.

I Want To Build A Low, Approx 8 X 10 Garden Shed, Need Plans, Anyone Have Had A Good Experience Getting Plans?

You should be able to find plenty of plan books at Lowe’s/HD. I think they tend to illustrate overbuilding though. If you want to see efficiency in shed construction, look at the prebuilt sheds sitting outside Lowe’s/HD. Wood prices have gone up so much, I think a lot can be saved by building wisely. Get the floor LEVEL, off the ground (unless you use concrete)and treat/prime anything you suspect will rot ’cause it will otherwise. Good roof overhang on all four sides will prevent a lot of rot.
