When you have a landscaping company build out a pond on your land, it is the beginning of a beautiful and inviting space. But to fully realize your dream, it would benefit from the addition of evocative detailing. Here’s a guide for how to give your pond personality. 

Ideas for Features to Add to Your Pond

1. Plants

Having greenery grow on the edges and even in your pond will make it seem more of a place than just a body of water. Water lilies are a beautiful option that will give the pond more of a vertical element.

2. Fish

What is a body of water without fish? If you have a higher budget, you can add mesmerizing koi, or for a more affordable route, consider goldfish. Having them in your water creates an immediate attraction and adds life and movement to the space. 

3. Stone

Another way to add texture is to add a series of rocks to the pond. Whether it’s a pebble path to the water or a few larger stones at land’s edge, the presence of stone contrasts wonderfully with water and creates a timeless element. They also lend a sense of serenity to the area, giving it the feeling of a Zen garden. 

4. Waterfall

For a real showstopper, consider a waterfall to feed into your pond continuously. This amenity is dazzling to the eye, gorgeously pouring water into the basin—people hike up mountains to glimpse them. With a little help from your landscaping company, you can enjoy a miniature version in your backyard.
