Hi Everyone

I would like to have a pond in my garden, and I've just had a quote
from a pond specialist which strikes me as rather expensive. It's
for a pond approx 11 x 9 ft, about 2 foot deep, surrounded with
rocks and with a filtration system, at a cost of about £10,000. The
chap who gave the quote sounded very knowledgeable and showed some
lovely photos of other ponds he'd done, and I'm sure he'd do a good
job, but it strikes me that this could be a lot more than is
sensible to pay for what I would have thought was a reasonably
straightforward job.

5k of that is cos the bloke prob. calls himself 'an aquatic landscaper'
DIY, a pond that size would cost between £200/1,000, depending on equipment
choice. How much you spend to landscape is down to personal preference.
