Water features are extremely popular and make a great addition to any landscape. They create a feeling of peace and tranquility and can be a wonderful focal point in your back yard. Water features come in almost any size and shape. It could be something as large as a pool or as small as a bubbling rock feature.

There are four basic types of ponds, reflecting, ornamental, water gardens and fish ponds. Each of these may be any size, shape or depth.

Reflecting Pools are designed to be decorative features usually in a garden as a central feature. They often have formal, geometric shapes with walking surfaces that overhang their edges all the way around.

Ornamental Pools are generally located near a deck or patio. They are designed around an ornamental piece like a spouting statue, a vertically cascading fountain or a bell fountain.

Water Gardens are living water features with aquatic plant life that is full of vibrant colors and textures. Plants, both inside and outside the perimeter of the pond create a lush natural setting.

Fish Ponds: Fish can be added to almost any type of water feature as long as certain life sustaining criteria are met. Gold fish and Koi are common favorites. They add a splash of color in motion.
