Create Your Own Backyard Retreat

Few things can add to a backyard's ambiance like a water feature. Ideally, getting away from it all would simply be a matter of stepping out the back door and spending a little time by your water garden. Listening to the soft sounds of rippling water and watching the graceful movements of the fish as they weave in and around the plants is my favorite way to unwind after a busy day. From a simple pond to an elaborate waterfall, water features offer beauty, tranquility, and even a boost to wildlife and the environment. In their simplest form, a water feature may consist of an easily installed, inexpensive preformed pond. Preformed ponds are manufactured from black plastic or fiberglass in a variety of sizes and shapes, typically 3 to 6 feet across and 12 to 18 inches deep, although sizes as large as 12 feet are available. Most preformed ponds are one-piece, but some of the larger ones come in sections that are assembled on site. Many people think that water gardening is difficult because water gardens look so exotic. But nothing could be further from the truth. If you follow a few simple rules, it's fall-down easy.
