There are many types of ponds available and each can be customized. Determining the type of pond you want is the first step. The term "water features" encompasses a wide variety of features from a simple birdbath to an exotic waterfall. It is important to find the proper location to sustain the type of pond you want to install. Most will be enjoyed more if they are installed close to the home, an area where you can see the pond year round. Locate where runoff from rain will not flow into the pond. Avoid placing too close to trees as falling leaves and other debris may need to be removed. You will want to place your pond where it will receive at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sun if you want to grow water lilies. Shade is fine for fish-only ponds. Water circulation is not essential but the use of a pump will allow you to keep more fish, it will keep your plants healthier. A pump is required to run a filter, fountain, or waterfall. The sound of running water adds greatly to the enjoyment of the pond.
