Key Pond Design Elements
Tips for a Beautiful, Sustainable Pond
1) Maintenance
Adding a pond requires ongoing maintenance, which varies based on factors like location, size, depth, and the quality of equipment. A pond with fish and plants needs regular monitoring to ensure water clarity and health.
2) Location
Choose a location where you’ll enjoy the pond from both inside and outside your home. Proximity to a deck or patio is ideal. Don’t forget to consider electrical access for the pump when selecting a spot.
3) Size
Ponds come in various sizes, but larger ponds tend to be easier to maintain due to less buildup of waste. We’ll help you select the right size based on your space, with options like a beautiful waterfall for added appeal.
4) Aesthetics
We offer a range of aesthetic options, from naturalistic designs to more tropical or modern looks. Our professional team will ensure the pond fits your vision and complements your yard’s overall style.
5) Finding Balance
We focus on creating balance in your yard. By assessing the space, we’ll design a pond that feels natural and enhances the environment. Fountains or waterfalls can be included for added ambiance.
6) Eco-System
If you want a living ecosystem with fish and plants, we’ll help you create one. A balanced pond can maintain itself with proper filtration, but avoid overfeeding fish to prevent excess waste and algae growth.
7) Koi Fish
Koi are a popular choice for ponds and can even be trained to eat from your hand. This adds an interactive, enjoyable experience for everyone, making your pond even more captivating.
