The Secret to a Low-Maintenance, Healthy Pond

You'd love to have a beautiful pond in your yard but have heard nightmares about all the work it takes to maintain it. With an ecosystem pond, your maintenance is diminished so you can spend more time enjoying it! The key to a naturally-balanced ecosystem pond is to include five critical elements. Take away any one of these components and you're flirting with disaster! You'll still need to perform a bit of maintenance but it won't be a nightmare if you build the pond right. Each photo depicts a key component for a healthy pond. More information is on our website at http://www.aquascapeinc.com/index.php?page=articles&a_id=199.
