Backyard Pond
Being around the water offers allure and beauty, which is why waterfront homes are
admired by many. Your own backyard can be alive with the visual appeal and sounds of
water in motion. These soothing sounds and the beauty of colorful fish swimming among
your plants, brings your landscaping alive. It's fun to create this attractive feature and it will
become the centerpiece of your backyard.
Before we get started I would like to answer some frequently asked questions about
backyard ponds.
· Will the winter cold kill my fish? Most fish will naturally stop eating and hibernate
at the bottom of the pond when the temperature of the water goes below 45
degrees. If you live in a climate where the pond will completely freeze over (even
at the edges) you will need to create a hole in the ice for the fish to remain alive.
· Will the winter cold kill my plants? Yes, if it goes below freezing in your area.
