Backyard ponds used to have very limited choices, but today there are so many ways to create a pond or water feature in your garden that you can be sure there is a style and type of maintenance that will suit you to each.
Below is an inspirational list of 23 backyard pond ideas to get you started this weekend.
Benefits of a backyard pond
Encourage wildlife
There is no better way to attract wildlife to your yard than to create a pond. Ponds provide a natural habitat for many creatures, including frogs, toads, newts, and a variety of insects. These are a joy to watch in the garden and they can also be a great educational opportunity for children to discover new creatures and learn all about them.
Improve relaxation
Backyard ponds are known to create a relaxing environment that can help you relieve stress. Incorporating water fountains or flowing streams into your space provides visuals and sounds that promote serenity and calm.
fill gaps
You don’t need a large yard to have a pond, and even the smallest yard can accommodate a pond if you can let your imagination run wild and get creative with the space you have. However, if you have a large area, a pond is a great way to fill up some of that space and add an interesting feature to an otherwise dull lawn. A pond can help divide your garden into defined sections and give it a more structured look.
