Water Gardens

Water gardens are a very attractive feature. Adding a simple pond or creating a series of pools can give your garden it's own unique character. There are many options available, and even a small shallow bird bath type water feature will still be a great way to attract wildlife into your garden.

The following small guides should provide some useful advice.

Aquatic Plants - Controlling algae Growth in the Pond

Pond filter systems are very important. They will help to ensure good water quality for healthy fish and good general appearance of the pond.

Biological filtration units are the normal standard. Generally the more advanced the pond filter, the higher the cost. The benefits are, less maintenance, and better water quality. Ultraviolet Sterilizer filter systems will offer the clearest water.

There are many filter systems available, and you should consult your local supplier for the best advice.

The type of pond filter you choose will be based on the size and usage of your pond or water feature. Ponds containing a lot of fish or a small number of oxygenating plants will require larger pond filters.
