A biologically balanced and self-sustaining patio pond
A patio pond is a wonderful addition to any garden, balcony or patio. If you design your patio pond according to our step-by-step plan, you can enjoy a low-maintenance pond. This pond itself maintains its natural balance, leaving you more time to relax without worrying about maintenance.
By naturally landscaping your patio pond, you are actively contributing to the enrichment of biodiversity. You create a habitat where aquatic plants, small aquatic animals and insects can flourish. This not only promotes the environment, but also brings life and exercise to your outdoor space.
A naturally landscaped patio pond also means you don't need chemicals. This lowers the impact on the environment and provides a healthier environment for both the plants and animals in and around the pond.
In short, by choosing a naturally landscaped patio pond according to our step-by-step plan, you are choosing a stylish and environmentally conscious addition to your garden that is both low-maintenance and helps preserve a natural environment.
Terrace pond making in 5 simple steps
A patio pond is easy to create. In fact, with the right plants, you won't need a pump or filter, allowing you to enjoy your patio pond year-round. You only need four supplies:
- A container, barrel or bowl
- Pond substrate
- Pond Plants
- Tap water
Step 1: Choose a container or pot for your patio pond
Start by choosing a nice bowl or pot for your patio pond. Make sure the bowl or pot is at least 20 inches deep so your pond plants have plenty of room to thrive and flourish. Choose something that appeals to you and fits the style of your outdoor space.
Step 2: Pick the location for your patio pond
You can place your patio pond in various locations, such as in the garden, on the patio or even on the balcony. However, it is important to realize that a patio pond is usually a limited and shallow water reservoir. During the hot summer months, this can lead to algae formation due to sunlight reflection. In addition, the water can evaporate faster due to the heat. To address these problems, consider placing oxygen plants in the pond. These plants not only block sunlight, but also contribute to good water quality and provide the pond with sufficient oxygen.
Simon's advice for an oxygen plant
For a patio pond, it is best to choose Hornleaf, Waterweed and Moss balls. This is because these oxygen plants can be thrown loose in the water, taking up little space.

- Oxygen plant
- Full grown height: 10 cm
- Placement: loose in the water
Step 3: Create any elevation changes in your patio pond
As a third step, one option is to introduce height differences in your patio pond. You can achieve this by placing stones at the bottom of the pond. This allows you to position your aquatic plants at various levels in the pond, giving an interesting and playful effect. Many people find this an attractive addition to their patio pond.
Step 4: Add substrate to the soil
Small ponds, like large water features, require a solid foundation. This is because pond substrate attracts beneficial bacteria that promote water clarity. In addition, a substrate layer is essential to provide plant roots with a suitable surface to anchor themselves. Without substrate, pond plants cannot root adequately and will have a shorter life span. Our substrate consists of porous stone pellets, which gives the pond a natural look. In addition, these grains are environmentally friendly, require little maintenance and have a very long lifespan. With substrate, you lay a natural and solid foundation for your pond.
Simon's advice for a pond substrate
Use 5 liters of substrate (1 bucket) to place on the pond bottom to allow aquatic plants to take root properly.
POND SUBSTRATE Pond substrate - 5 liters
- 5 L covers 25 cm ↥ 5 cm
- Heavy duty quality for best filtration
- Extra porous: optimal plant growth
Step 5: Choose aquatic plants for your patio pond
Often people who want to create a patio pond are unsure about which plants would best suit their pond. Therefore, it is highly recommended to opt for a patio pond set. In such a set you will find everything you need, so you do not have to purchase large bags of soil and clay. In this way, you can quickly and effortlessly enjoy a beautiful patio pond that you built yourself.

Frequently asked questions about patio ponds
A patio pond is a small water feature designed specifically for placement on a patio, balcony or in a small garden. The difference from a regular pond is mainly in its size and scale. Terrace ponds are smaller and are designed to fit into limited spaces.
Suitable plants for a patio pond include water lilies, water hyacinths, papyrus, iris and dwarf water lilies. These plants thrive in limited space and are often especially suited for small ponds.
In most cases, a pump and filter is not necessary for a patio pond, especially if it is small. The natural balance can usually keep the water clear. However, if you want to keep fish in your patio pond, a small pump and filter may be useful.
To prevent algae growth, you can place oxygen plants in your patio pond. These plants help absorb nutrients that algae need to grow. It is also important to reduce excessive sunlight by planting water lilies or keeping part of the pond shaded, for example.
A pump or filter is not necessary in any pond if you set up the pond according to our step-by-step plan. By setting up the pond correctly, the patio pond will be able to balance itself naturally.
