The Basics: Water Features & Ponds

IMG_2431

Any type of water feature adds a whole new level of pleasure to a landscape. Waterfalls and streams are loud enough to block out regular neighbourhood noises, which is often the major appeal to anyone who truly wants a backyard get-a-way. Private ponds offer such a relaxing and peaceful place that cannot be achieved by any other outdoor element.  Running water brings a natural beauty that offers both visual and auditory stimulation to your sense. Ponds that are designed and installed correctly have their own functioning eco-system which makes them essentially self-sustaining.

When plants and fish are added, the whole yard is brought to life. Koi and certain species of goldfish are very interactive, making for great pet’s and entertainment! Fish are also low maintenance pets that always provide hours of fun for the whole family and any guests you might be hosting. Just watching them soar through the water and interact with their surroundings can be enough to take your mind off nearly anything!

Having little pools of flowing water allows local wildlife a chance to wander in and take a quick drink or bath before quietly sneaking away. If you have young children, waterfalls and streams are the safer choices of a water feature to have as we can install them without a pond. No matter how big or small the yard, there is always room for a water feature!
