If you are looking for different ways to bring life back to a dull home this year, the garden is a feature you may not have considered decorating. 

Your garden is an important feature of the house and it plays a huge role in your home, especially during the summer months. Today we want to take a look at the garden and consider building a pond to elevate the space. 

But why a pond? 

Well, we are about to tell you exactly why.

Attract wildlife 

The first reason you should cosndier installing a pond in your garden is that it will attract animals of all kinds. Once you fit your pond with some plants and a pump such as the Tsurumi LB-800, you’ll be able to bring animals such as fish or frogs into your space. Having animals such as frogs and fish in your pond will be brilliant for your garden, and you’ll likely attract a lot of other animals such as mammals who will drink from the pond, and birds who will visit your pond. Having wildlife thriving in your garden is a great thing and is something you should strive for. 

Add a stunning feature 

If you have ever seen a garden pond in all its glory, you will know that it can make a stunning water feature for any outdoor space. In the same way a fireplace brings a focal point to the living room, a pond will bring a focal point to your garden and will make people stop and pay attention. You can play around with the design of your pond so it can be as simple as a hole in the ground with a row of paving around it; or could be as stunning as a pond built from the ground with slate and including steps to walk around it. You can really get creative with building a pond in your garden and it is a brilliant way to bring something extra to your garden. 

Show off pond plants 

There are so many stunning plants you can bring into your pond such as pond lilies, water lettuce and blue iris as well as a host more. If you are always looking for an excuse to show off more plant life in your garden this is a great opportunity for that.

Create an ecosystem 

One of the brilliant reasons to build a pond for your garden is to create an ecosystem. Our planet is in dire need of help, and the animals that live in our ecosystems have less and less space to thrive as green spaces are torn down. By building a pond in your garden you will provide a living space for many forms of life and this will make a massive difference to the health of many species in your local area. It’s a small gesture but can actually be a huge deal if you are an animal lover! 

Consider building a pond this year and bringing a touch of class and elegance to your outdoor space.
