A Garden Pond will fill your backyard with the sounds of nature. Garden Ponds usually combine a pool with aquatic plants and often ornamental fish. Fixed items such as rocks, fountains, statuary, waterfalls and watercourses can be added to the pond to add visual interest and integration with the local landscape and environment. Where to put a garden pond Consider locating your garden pond where you can see it from a deck or patio. Have it blend in with its natural surroundings. Elevate the soil around the pond slightly so that excess water will flow away from the pond, not into it. Plan to landscape around the pond to provide habitat for frogs and birds that need land and water. If you plan to use a pump to circulate water, use a filter, or light the area, be sure electrical service is available. There will be less maintenance if your pond is not under trees. Most aquatic plants will grow better in full sun. If you do not have space in your yard for a built-in earthen pond, consider a "tub" pond or large water bowls.

There will also be routine maintenance in order to keep your garden pond in tip top shape.
