About Me
Make Your Yard Come Alive

I'm glad you visited my website on landscaping. My name is Lucia Nash. I have a very busy and exciting garden. The feeder is always active with sparrows. We put a couple hummingbird feeders out and they visit us every summer. There are many types of birds that visit my yard. So many of my friends wonder why my yard is so busy with gorgeous animals, not the destructive kind, but the types that are just a pleasure to have around. The answer to that question is difficult to sum up in a few sentences, so I decided it was better to write blog posts on how to create a great yard.

3 Reasons To Add A Koi Pond To Your Backyard

If you are in the process of creating a landscape design for your backyard, then you may be realizing just how many cool features you can add. These features help to make your landscape unique and to look and do the things that you want it to. One unique feature that you should consider adding to your backyard is a koi pond. This pond will need to be a bit bigger in size in order to accommodate the growing koi, so you will want to make sure that you plan accordingly. This article will discuss 3 reasons to add a koi pond to your backyard.

Great Area For Plant Life

If you are someone who loves plants of all kinds, and you want to plant a plethora of them in your backyard, then you should consider installing a koi pond and then planting different plants all around the pond. This will create a gorgeous plant haven around the pond, making it look more full and natural. However, keep in mind that the koi are going to eat some of the plant life, so you want to be sure that you aren't too attached to the plants that are within their reach. 

Gives You A Fun Outdoor Pet 

If you have always wanted some kind of pet, but didn't want them indoors, then a koi pond will be great for you. You will have your own fish that you can take care of, but you will soon realize that they can take care of themselves for the most part. You just need to ensure that their filter is working to clean their water, that enough oxygen is being pumped into the water, that their water is kept clean and sanitary, and that they are getting enough food each day.

Great Focal Point 

If you are looking for a piece that will really stand out in your backyard, and catch the eye of anyone who sees it, then a koi pond surrounded with beautiful plant life is the way to go. You will likely get a lot of questions about your pond, in terms of how you installed it and how you maintain it. It can be really fun to talk with family and friends about the installation process, as well as about how cool it is to watch the koi to grow bigger and bigger as time goes on. You will also likely receive several compliments on how amazing your koi pond looks, which is very rewarding after all of your hard work.
