Natural
- Environmentally Friendly & Safe
Environmentally
friendly and compltely customized water features can
be installed anywhere - similar to traditional landscaping.
In addition, water features like other types of landscaping,
mature with age increasing the value if your house more
than any other kind of home improvement.
Popularity
- Reconnect with Nature
Water
features are today's hottest trends in landscaping.
Across America, high maintenance, boring expanses of
lawn are being transformed into beautiful, low maintenance
water features. Everyday millions of people return home
to a little paradise...their own backyards!
Aquatic
Plants - Jewels of the Garden
Water
plants are truly the "emerald" jewels of the
gardening world. Self-watering and hardy, these plants
return year-after-year. You can even plant tropical
lilies that bloom at night! The beauty and low maintenance
of aquatic plants provide a truly unique aaccent to
any water garden.
Fish
- The Perfect Pet
The
flash of brilliantly colored fish adds immensely to
the enjoyment of your water garden. In fact, fish actually
help support the natural ecosystem and reduce pond maintenance.
Their sparkle and playfulness offer endless fascination,
enhancing the naturalness of the setting.
Landscaping
- Complete Your Paradise
No
pond is complete without an adjacent deck, stone 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 pation in upcoming seasons.
Tranquility
- Right in Your Own Yard
Relax
alongside a water garden and experience a tranquil that
transcends today's stressful world. Recouperate from
your hectic day with free moments, listening to the
soothing sound of a waterfall. Join the many satisfied
homeowners who readily profess adding a water feature
to their landscape was the best investment they've ever
made.
What
is the cost?
A
well designed water feature includes:
- mechanical
and biological filteration
- pump
and plumbing
- 45
mil EPDM liner and underlayment
- rock
work
- underwater
fiber optic or conventional low voltage lighting
- a
berm
- waterfalls
What
size is best?
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' 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.
