Aquatic plants do best in still water. If you want to include a waterfall in your pond design, you will want to position plants far enough away so they won\u2019t be subjected to a strong current of moving water. This is particularly important for floating plants such as lotuses and water lilies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Koi Pond.<\/strong>\u00a0Koi ponds are larger than other garden ponds and have more intensive requirements including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Size and depth. To support a healthy fish population a koi pond must be at least three feet deep, provide twenty-five square feet of pond per fish, and no less than 1,000 gallons of water.<\/li>\n<li>Filtration system. A filtration system is necessary because koi produce a significant amount of waste. There are two types: mechanical and biological. Mechanical filtration uses pump baskets, bottom drains and skimmers to trap fish waste. Biological filtration employs\u00a0beneficial bacteria to convert toxins into harmless substances.<\/li>\n<li>Aeration system.\u00a0Depending on pond size, and the number of plants and fish, you may need an aeration device to circulate oxygen through pond water. Incorporating waterfalls or fountains into the design can accomplish the need for aeration. However, mechanical aeration pumps are worth the investment if you live in a hot climate or have large fish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3918 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/02-garden-pond-in-woodland-setting.jpg\" alt=\"garden pond in woodland setting\" width=\"1250\" height=\"632\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/02-garden-pond-in-woodland-setting.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/02-garden-pond-in-woodland-setting-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/02-garden-pond-in-woodland-setting-1024x518.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/02-garden-pond-in-woodland-setting-768x388.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1250px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1250\/632;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2 Location of Pond<\/h3>\n<p>Pond maintenance will be more manageable if you pick the right location. Garden ponds that are built under trees can be high maintenance because of leaf litter and debris that ends up in the water. Also, ponds in low-lying spots may be affected by flooding and pollution during rain storms.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Pond Liner<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3919 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-koi-pond-with-lily-pads.jpg\" alt=\"garden koi pond with lily pads\" width=\"480\" height=\"447\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-koi-pond-with-lily-pads.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-koi-pond-with-lily-pads-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-koi-pond-with-lily-pads-1024x954.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/04-koi-pond-with-lily-pads-768x715.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/447;\" \/>There are three types of pond liners. Going from least to most expensive they are: flexible, preformed and concrete.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flexible Pond Liner<br \/>A flexible liner is best for natural water gardens because it can be cut to any size or shape. A single seamless piece of flexible liner conforms to the excavated shape of the pond.<\/li>\n<li>Preformed Pond Liner<br \/>Preformed pond liners are rigid fiberglass shells. Compared to flexible liners, preformed liners are somewhat limited to standard shapes but are easier to install.<\/li>\n<li>Concrete<br \/>Poured concrete can be used to create well-defined edges. It can be colored with pigment to make the water in the pond appear darker or lighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>4 Pond Lighting<\/h3>\n<p>Pond lights serve two purposes: safety and visual effect. Safety lighting is used to define the edge of the water and light pathways. Underwater lights can be used to create dramatic effects and highlight certain features of a pond at night.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a particular interest in adding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/landscape-design-elements\/water-features-waterfalls-ponds-fountains-mclean-va\">water features<\/a> to your yard, or a\u00a0koi pond, you may enjoy reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/garden-koi-pond-fish-northern-virginia\/\">Garden Koi Pond: the Bliss of Watching Fish<\/a>.
