Nothing as beautiful as a water garden is completely maintenance free, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Just like any other outdoor landscaping, a pond takes a little maintenance here and there, but we guarantee that it’s much more enjoyable than mowing the lawn. This section explores what kind of general maintenance a pond requires for those looking to get their own pond, or for the pond owner who needs a little refresher. You’ll also get a sneak peek of what kind of seasonal maintenance is required as your pond evolves through spring, summer, fall, and winter. Some ponds need more maintenance than others, but remember that if you build your pond the all-natural way, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying your pond more and maintaining it less!
