How to start your own pond building business

You can start your own business, be your own boss, and work your own hours, when you build and maintain water ponds and garden ponds for yourself. You can start by building small ponds and work your way up to larger, fancier ponds. You can buy small water ponds at some home improvement stores, and you should be able to find enough accessories to start your own pond business.

You can also go all out, later on, buy to have your own tractor to dig the ponds. You can rent tractors and bobcats to dig large ponds. For extra large ponds, you may even need a crane. But most average-sized ponds can be done by hand, with a shovel, or with several people digging at once. You can buy pond liners and materials from local vendors, you can find them in the phone book or on the Internet. You can choose various rock designs to form your pond. As with any pond, your imagination is the only thing stopping you from building a beautiful pond.

The pond business can be an art form as no two artists view pond building in the same way, you really don’t want to build your client a square pond with no frills. You want to think about it and create a piece of art for your client, and this is how you should think about it. People love ponds with lily pads, gold fish, water features, etc. You can earn a lot of money putting up nice ponds.

You should take a picture of every pond job you complete so that you have a good portfolio to show potential new clients. You need to make up flyers and hand them out to landscaping vendors, home and garden stores, hardware stores, nurseries, food supplies, and more. You can offer them a commission, or lump sum payment, for any pond job they send you, and you do. You should have nice signs on the side of your vehicle saying you build ponds. You can take some digital photos of some of your finished work later and print them in color and make them into magnetic signs, to also put on your vehicle as a sales pitch, and a picture is worth a thousand words, they always say. .
