Simple Ideas for Improving Your Pondscape

There are various landscaping projects that can add beauty and functionality to your pond area. For one, adding boulders to your pondscape will create a look that is ruggedly attractive. You may also want to install a natural stone walkway from your patio to your pond. This can create an enchanting path to your pond area, while also providing better footing for people who aren’t as sturdy as they used to be.

Adding aquatic plants to your pondscape can also add enchantment. Yellow water lilies offer old-time charm and provide the resident frogs a stage for the evening opera. Marsh cinquefoil is a native aquatic plant that produces gorgeous red-to-purple flowers. Bogbean is another popular option and features clusters of small white star-shaped flowers. Other common Northwest pond plants include American water plantain and bulrush.

Fish can also add beauty and character to your pond. Of course, koi are very popular for ponds. Not only do they provide strikingly vibrant colors, they can be taught to eat out of your hand. Catfish are another popular choice. And while they don’t actually do a great job of keeping the pond clean, they do offer a charming look with their whiskers that appear to be straight out of a fairy tale. Other popular pond fish in this region include rosy red minnows and pumpkin seeds, which are a kind of sunfish.
