WATER FEATURES

WATER FEATURES IN YOUR LANDSCAPE CAN ADD  EXTRA VALUE TO YOUR HOME AND MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING AND RELAXING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO ENJOY.

 

A properly designed and built pond is nearly self-maintaining. Ponds can be built in sun or shade, large or small. With the right skimmer filtration, most pond debris is automatically bagged and ready for easy removal. A biological filter with supplemental bacteria additions will clean the pond, letting nature establish an ecosystem that recycles fish waste and eliminates green water.

 

The Pro-Pond ecosystem is a closed system. Except for the initial fill-up, the only water that has to be added is to replenish water that has evaporated.

 

We have found over the years a good starter size for a water garden is 11 ft. by 16 ft. (roughly 180 sq. ft.), 24 inches deep. This size will allow plenty of room for fish and plants to be added over the years to come.

 

Hardy fish, such as koi, will survive through winter in new Jersey ( zone 6), in as little as 18 inches of water. The majority of the ponds we build are 24 inches deep. ( check with your local building inspector to determine what the proper depth is for your town without having to put a fence around it.)
