Water features are becoming an incredibly popular addition to a beautiful residential landscape. Each design is unique and custom for the backyard. My company has done dozens and dozens and I'd like to share a little information about water features in this blog post.
There are two types of water features: those with ponds, and those without ponds ("pondless"). Advantages to having a pond are enjoying fish, lily pads, etc. But, they are more difficult to maintain. Pondless systems have no standing water and no potential for a child to fall into the water.

| This is an example of a "pondless" water feature. There is no pond at the end of the large stream. This is a bigger than average water feature with lots of cascading water falls. |
My company has been using Aquascape water feature products for over 15 years.

Wow, awesome shots!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you shared them with your readers.
Great pictures! Personally the pond-less water feature is my favorite because it seems to me it attracts like bugs to be attracted to the standing water.
