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' x 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.
Relax alongside a water garden and experience a tranquility
that trancends today's stressful world. Recuperate 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.
Installed, a
water feature is similarly priced to a hot tub.
A well-designed water feature includes:
mechanical and biological filtration
pump
and plumbing
45
mil EPDM liner and underlayment
rock
work

Unlike a hot
tub, your water garden will not use any chemicals, require
any test kits, and will actually increase the value of your
property.
