There’s no doubt that your pond is already stunning, but what if it could be just a little bit better with some pond upgrades? Below are five excellent pond upgrades to make an already great pond even better!

Pond Upgrades: Water lilies

The natural look of flowers blooming across the surface of water is a sight everyone can enjoy! Plant water lilies in your pond to achieve this stunning look. Water lilies can help with the overall health of your pond, and the variety of colors will turn your pond into a gorgeous work of art. Yellow water lilies are a fantastic choice as they compliment other colors of flowers nicely for a cohesive garden color pallet. There are many colors of water lilies to choose from, so pick the one that best suits your taste and the aesthetic of your pond!

Koi and Pond Fish

When people think of ponds, they usually think about fish! Adding fish to your pond helps manage the pond’s ecosystem and they even add some color to the space. Koi fish are a great option to add natural beauty to a pond as well as color and movement. They elevate the aesthetic of your pond by looking marvelous, and creating a spectacle adults and kids alike will enjoy seeing!

Pond Upgrades: Rocks

One crucial part of the outdoors to remember for pond upgrades are rocks!  They not only offer a more natural look for ponds, but they provide 12x the surface area for beneficial organisms that enhance your pond’s ecosystem. The organisms that rocks attract compete with algae, keeping  your pond clean and clear from all of the unwanted green growth. Rocks are incredibly variable, which means  you have tons of options to choose from! Whether they will be placed in or out of water, rocks are a wonderful way to change or improve the look of your pond.

 

Aquatic Plants

Aquatic plants are a fine option for some pond upgrades. They help add natural splendor and beauty, with a splash of color by growing in and around ponds. You can mix and match plants based on an aesthetic to make your pond look more wild or to create a more uniform look. Regardless of your pond’s established style, there’s a combination of aquatic plants out there to compliment it perfectly.

 

Pond Upgrades: Waterfalls

Waterfalls are for everyone! Regardless of your pond size or the amount of outdoor space you have, adding a waterfall or fountain tops our list of pond upgrades! Waterfalls not only look beautiful, they also have some pretty cool health benefits! They help create a sense of calm which relaxes the mind, and they encourage you to spend some time outside which makes everyone feel better!
