For some, a pond filled with fish and aquatic plants (and a place to dip their toes!) is an enjoyable addition to a landscape plan. However, others choose to install a pond-less water feature which incorporates the use of a hidden basin to help recirculate water down a stream.
Not only do streams and waterfalls help to re-create the melodious sounds of nature, running water can also help to camouflage numerous un-natural and unappealing sounds such as traffic and neighborhood noise. Water that flows over rocky streams and waterfalls cleans and irrigates the pond by providing oxygen to both plants and fish, and aids in slowing the growth of algae and bacteria. Streams and waterfalls also provide a natural filtration system which helps to keep the water clean, clear and healthy.
Bubbling boulders and fountains can provide homeowner's with the sight and sounds of running water without the addition of a full fledged pond or pond-less water feature. These types of water features provide a quieter, calming sound than a traditional waterfall.
Rain Gardens are low lying areas that are specifically designed to capture non-polluted storm water runoff from yards and roofs which then allow the excess water to drain naturally back into the surrounding soil rather than flooding roadways, yards or storm drains. These types of gardens incorporate native plant species and aid in the creation of natural wildlife habitats and water conservation.
There are a variety of options when it comes to the treatment and handling of possibly polluted storm water runoff. These types of ponds usually incorporate vegetation around the perimeter and include a permanent pool of water in their design. These ponds are for the handling of storm water runoff only and are not suited for fish, pets or humans.
Bog Gardens are moist areas of soil that aid in the natural runoff of rain water. They ultimately retain some permanent moisture but can begin to dry up when rain is scarce. Bog Gardens provide a natural habitat for plants and animals that thrive in slightly moist conditions and there are a number of native plant species found in these gardens. Wetlands also aid in the natural runoff of rain water but remain wet permanently (or seasonally) and feature a distinct ecosystem of aquatic plants and animals that have adapted to this permanently wet environment.
