Pond netting keeps the predators away

Predators can take a beautiful pond and make a terrible mess. There are many ways to protect your pond fish and other critters like turtle and frogs. This is an example of one way you or your pond builder can add protection without destroying the look of your garden pond. Netting comes in many sizes and can be added just at the surface so it is not impeding on the look of the pond too much. In this photo of a beautiful natural water garden pond you can see even the aquatic plants are growing through the netting. The Koi and goldfish are happy and safe.

Making a nice backyard with a pond

Making a nice backyard

Recently a client came to us from seeing a pond we had built for a Home and Garden Show. The couple said that they were looking to make a nice backyard. They wanted a pond with a stream bed and two waterfalls, large flagstone pavers and a fire pit.

Well my first thoughts were of a large yard with plenty of room for a stream and a good size pond. But when I visited their home, I was surprised by the size we had to work with. The dimension was no more than 28’ long and about 12’ wide.  So this is what we came up with

On one side we built about a 4’ waterfall into a pond about 10’ x10’. We made the pond roughly 3’ deep for the Koi. The other side has a small waterfall with a stream that empties into the pond and  is roughly 24-30” wide. One thing we did slightly different on this job, is that we put a separate motor to the stream in the pond, so that the stream could be turned off separately from the pond if they didn’t want to run it all the time.  The key to a well operating stream is to make certain that there is plenty of water flow to prevent algae growth.  This backyard pond really made a difference , but what really finished the job off was the installation of the flagstone pavers and the firepit we installed. When choosing a licensed contractor, it is nice to find one that can handle all the trades so that the job moves along at a nice steady pace.
