Benefits of Owning a Pond
There are many reasons why you may want a pond. Ponds increase the value of a property and add incredible contrast to a landscape. Some ponds double as a swimming pool. Instead of covering your open space with mulch or grass, try a pond.
A pond serves as an oasis for local wildlife. Amphibians like frogs and salamanders may find your pond and call it home for the summer.
Aquatic plants can be grown to create a healthy ecosystem. Fish add an exciting and natural element to your pond. Additionally, ponds attract beautiful songbirds; ditch that old bird bath and get a pond. Flowing water also provides relaxing and peaceful sounds that help block out traffic. Whether you want a slow trickle or a thundering waterfall, a pond will be the perfect addition to your backyard.

Birds
Birds love bathing in ponds. In our area, you're likely to see robins, cardinals, finches, and more, enjoying the benefits of your pond. Not only is it peaceful to watch local songbirds taking baths, it is satisfying to provide a pristine and comfortable place for them to bathe.
Peaceful sounds
A babbling stream and waterfall is a wonderful calming sound. If you think you've felt true relaxation, kick back in a comfortable chair and read a book next to a pond. If you have a patio and enjoy having friends over, a pond will generate perfect ambient background noise to cover up the sounds of traffic.
