The Benefits Of A Backyard Pond




Interest in backyard ponds and water features has surged in the past few years as more homeowners and businesses start to implement them in backyards and courtyards.  While they do require maintenance, they bring far more pleasure than work and provide a heap of benefits to your home, family and the environment around you.  Take a look at what a backyard pond can do for you...

The "WOW" Factor - Not just anyone has a pond.  When you do, it becomes a focal point full of wonder and excitement.  Whether it's a backyard birthday party or a small barbecue, friends and family will be impressed and amazed with your addition.  Often, your pond becomes a key talking point and can spice up any event.

White Noise - An often overlooked aspect is that ponds can drown out obnoxious city noise - no pun intended.  Ponds need to be aerated to stay healthy and a great way to do this is by adding a waterfall, stream, jets or bubblers.  These water features create a lovely ambient sound that can disguise traffic and bring a more relaxing atmosphere to your outdoor space.

Field Of Dreams - Just like they say in the movie, "if you build it, they will come." In this instance, we're talking about nature, of course.  A backyard pond attracts beautiful birds, dragonflies and other magnificent creatures to enhance your view.  If you add fish - especially, koi - to your pond, you can feed them and watch them swim happily.  Every pond is different and so is the region you live so what nature is attracted to it may be different and varied.  For instance, a Mid-Western pond in the suburbs near forest preserves might find deer occasionally grazing near it.  It's another beautiful surprise created by your pond!

Relaxation - The biggest benefit of a pond is what it can do for you and your family.  This little pond that you've created in your backyard space has transformed a boring green space into a gorgeous, thriving ecosystem.  It creates a relaxing, peaceful area in which you can center yourself and let the worries of your day melt away.  The tranquility and joy it brings tend to draw folks outdoors more often.

Education - Backyard ponds are actually amazing learning tools.  Everyone in your family can become closer to nature and learn about plants, animals and the environment.  It's a great way to teach little ones about responsibility and the delicate balance on this planet as well as helping you to appreciate the amazing nuances nature provides.  This is also an amazing opportunity for gardeners to expand their skill-sets by learning about aquatic plants.  It's a whole new ball game!

These are just a few of the amazing benefits you can garner from having your very own backyard pond.  Ponds are constantly changing based on environment, weather, seasons and how they are cared for so there is always something new to discover.  You may even find a few positive changes affecting your home and family.  It's a wonderful adventure waiting to be explored!
