taherrmann4 I love the way the tree looks, but are you worried about the roots piercing the liner? (very nice pond too might I add) j.w Your garden also looks amazing, I want Ginkgo tree in one corner (about 15' from the pond) and Cant decide on the other tree, red maple looks very nice, I would like if the leaves were green during summer and red in fall, I like all of the weeping versions, they look very nice, only problem is that they grow too slow.
If there is a way to add a tree next to/near pond (within several feet) without worring about it piercing the liner...

This is still something new to me, back in the day I enjoyed working on cars, fixing stuff, and freshwater fish-tanks (still do) and cutting grass was a pain, now I enjoy going outside, working out, relaxing... Now I'm trying to make my grass as green as possible and enjoy trying to make the lines on the lawn (like a golf course) any advice on making the grass greener let me know lol.

If you want green grass you must water it all the time or move to the Pacific N.W where it gets watered for free :lol:

As for the tree roots. They might not pierce your liner but they could heave up the ground and the liner eventually if too close. 15 ft is prolly far enough away but not sure. I don't have any big trees near my pond. Closest ones are about 25' away and they are Doug Firs which will get huge someday. I still don't think their roots will make any problems for the pond tho

Its not a koi pond, but never the less still looks amazing.

There ya go, you got it. What is in that building? Could it be the pump house and can't tell what it says on the sign. Is there fish in that pond? I would think it would be a perfect place for some. Seems as tho kids would be letting some go in there when mom says no more fish in the house cuz you don't take care of them :surfing:
