Water gardening is hot, there are a lot of people spending their money to improve their outdoor living areas, and one of the most popular additions is a picturesque water garden with a babbling stream, cascading waterfalls, colorful fish and beautiful aquatic plants.

Location and size are the two most important decisions you'll make about your water feature. It is said that 90% of the original water gardens sold are replaced later with larger ones. We recommend that you consider adding the largest water feature that can be incorporated into your landscape. When selecting a site, consider two factors: sun and visibility. A pond site requires a location that gets at least four to six hours of sun each day so water lilies can bloom. Water gardens work in the shade but you just do not get the flower bloom if you get less sun. Look at your location from inside the house to make sure you can enjoy it from both inside and outside. You will want to sit near the pond so place it near a deck or sitting area. As a general rule, an 11 feet x16 feet (176 square feet) is a good "standard" size water feature. Think 20/20 when you install a water garden. Have all 20 items at your job site before you begin, and install the pond equipment according to the 20 step assembly process. Following this, you will save money and valuable time! Keep it simple! |
