Ponds
Cool, clear and inviting, the perfect focal point of any landscape. Ponds create more dramatic change in your landscape and lifestyle than anything else you could do to your yard. A well-designed pond from Vought Water Gardens will require less maintenance and water than the same square footage of grass. Because you don’t have to walk your fish or even feed them, they are the perfect pets.
Dragonflies and frogs will also be attracted to your pond, which will reduce the population of disease carrying insects. With no chemicals or ultraviolet lights, your pond will require very little of you but will give you so much in return.
We build our ponds to work with mother nature, not against her. By doing so, we have less maintenance, allowing us to enjoy the benefits of the pond instead of having to work on the pond. By constructing your water feature to perform as an ecosystem, nature is at the heart of the water cycle, not man. As a result, the root systems of plants filter the water, natural bacteria breaks down organic matter and fish eat the algae. No chemicals or other devices, just nature, doing what nature does best.
With the proper balance of fish, plants and healthy bacteria present, not only is maintenance reduced, but water quality is enhanced. In the end, we have a water feature that not only looks better, it is better, both for the natural habitat of fish and birds and other creatures that are drawn to water in nature, but for us as well, as we now will have more time to enjoy it, with family and friends.
Consider coming home after work and instead of heading for the television, you head for the pond, your pond, with water lilies afloat, the splash of the waterfall muffling the city noise, and wildlife all around where you are welcomed by your pets, your water garden fish…a source of constant entertainment.
