Adding A Pond Aquascape To Your Landscaping Plans

By Michael Obrien


Instead of sticking to your normal annual spring routine and only planting flowers and shrubbery this year, try something different by adding a pond aquascape to your landscaping plans. This type of water feature is a great way to add unique interest to your yard or patio, no matter how large or small. It will add a tranquil feeling to just about any space and can become a fun and rewarding hobby.

Creating a pond aquascape can be fun and rewarding. It basically involves installing a water feature that may include plants, fish, rocks, or any combination of the above. Depending on the size of your space, they can be built right in the ground or in smaller above ground tanks or flower pots. They are completely customizable and can be changed around from season to season.

The plants used in water features are often more unique compared to those planted in the ground. The sound of running water is another unique feature found in this type of garden. It will give your backyard a special, tranquil feeling in addition to the visual beauty it provides. Additionally, the ongoing maintenance of this type of garden can be a fun hobby for anyone who likes gardening or fish.

It should be quite simple to pick out something you love that will work well within your space, since the types and sizes of water features are practically unlimited. Typically, a pond aquascape will include a few fish as well as plenty of lush plants. However, sometimes the most beautiful water features are as simple as arranging rock in a unique design. Water features are not confined to a certain size and can be customized to whatever space you have to work with.

An outdoor patio or an indoor space would be perfect for a small installation. Smaller water features can be created using interesting pots, glass aquariums or any unique container. Small fish can even be added as long as you install a proper filtration system.

For an average sized patio or small back yard, a slightly larger aquascape may be more appropriate. If you have the space, an in ground installation can be very attractive and gives you much more room to create something special. Adding a waterfall to the design will give an extra feeling of serenity to your backyard.

If your backyard is quite large or if you are landscaping a commercial building or community area, a large in ground aquascape would give many options. Adding accent lighting and landscaped pathways would give the space a lush, tropical feel. The surrounding pathways would provide additional space for planting colorful annual flowers that could be changed out each season.

Adding a pond aquascape to your landscaping plans is a great alternative to simply planting a few flowers or shrubbery. No matter what size you choose, this type of feature adds a unique and tranquil feeling to any space. The ongoing maintenance of both the fish and the plants is a great hobby that far outweighs simply cutting the grass every weekend.
