Choosing the Right Pond Size
Essential Pond Sizing for Health and Beauty
Proper sizing is crucial for a healthy, beautiful pond. We’ll help you determine the ideal width, length, and depth based on your available space and landscape layout.
Pond Depth
We typically recommend a minimum depth of 2 feet, especially if you’re adding fish. Deeper ponds are not only easier to maintain but also more resistant to algae growth, as they stay cooler and more balanced in temperature.
Pond Volume
Measured in gallons, the volume determines the size of pump and filtration system you’ll need. A well-calculated volume ensures water stays clear and healthy for both aquatic life and your visual enjoyment.
Protecting Your Pond's Ecosystem
Managing Wildlife, Pests & Predators
Adding fish to your pond can bring life and beauty—but also invites unwanted visitors. Our pond landscaping experts will advise you on how to maintain ecological balance and protect your aquatic ecosystem.
- Predator fish like bass or bluegill can help control insects and frogs.
- Heron decoys deter birds from preying on your fish.
- Depth helps fish evade raccoons and other land predators.
- Hiding spots such as underwater caves or large stones offer fish safe zones.
- Scarecrow sprinklers (motion-activated) can keep curious animals at bay.
We design with all of these elements in mind, so your pond remains a healthy and safe environment for both wildlife and people.
