Benefits of a Pond

Did you know that having a pond in your yard is actually beneficial?

We added a pond to our front yard landscape and absolutely love it. We are definitely considering making it bigger.

Here are some benefits of having a pond.

• It replaces grass, therefore doesn’t need to be mowed or fertilized.
• The sludge that is in the filter of your pump and on the bottom is actually a good fertilizer for your yard. 
• They act like a carbon sink. They catch the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it for the plants. This helps reduce your houses carbon foot print.
• They are ecological hotspots for diversity. They have been shown to attract dragonflies, which are a beneficial insect.
• It provides a water source for birds and other animals.
