Frequently Asked Questions

|
| No pond is complete
without an adjacent deck, brick patio, or gazebo. Because moving water encompasses all
senses, your water feature should be the focal point of your yard. Perennial plantings,
ornamental grasses, and even ground cover help naturalize the water's edge. Often a deck
or patio can be incorporated for a more up close and personal appreciation of your water
feature. You can always do your project in stages - adding plants and a patio in upcoming
seasons. |

Location and size are the
two most important decisions you'll make about your water feature. By some estimates, 90
percent of the original water gardens sold are replaced later with larger ones. An
enthusiastic pond hobbyist always finds new plants or interesting fish to add to his
investment. As a general rule, a 180 square-foot or 11' x 16' pond is a good
"standard" size water feature. Trace your prospective pond out on the ground
with a garden hose to help you visualize what the finished size will be. |

improvement. |
