Whether it is your country home, your mansion or your office building, a pond within the property can be a dream come true. Depending upon how you design your pond, the efforts and the work involved in creating and maintaining the pond is tremendous. Having said that, the initial effort far outweighs the long term benefits you reap from having a pond on your property.
Whether the property already has a pond at the time of purchase or you intend to get one built after the purchase, the question of extra labor being worth it does come to one’s mind. As you are already convinced of getting one for your yard, lets dive deep into the benefits of adding a pond to your landscape.
Conserve water as well as help the wildlife flourish
A pond is a great way to lower your impact on the environment. Even small ponds can hold a surprising amount of water. A pond replaces a large area that otherwise would be covered in grass or plants that need water for upkeep. Instead, now you have a mini water body that acts as a holding tank for runoff and rainwater. Hence you move closer to being water positive in terms of overall consumption.
As more and more natural habitats are being taken over by urban jungles, a mini ecosystem of plants and animals can thrive in your pond. Bringing in an element of wilderness into your back yard or front lawn only adds to your efforts to sharing a piece of your home or office with mother nature.
Improve the aesthetics, add fun and increase the value of your property
The sense of calm and beauty that a pond can bring to your eyes is unparalleled. Nothing beats sitting on the bench along side your own pond and reading a book while slow breeze blows through your hair. Also, spending some time in a natural setting is cathartic in these busy times that we live in. A well-designed pond, even if it is man-made, transports you instantly to another realm.
No matter what your age is, everyone enjoys spending time in nature. In a well-maintained pond, you can experience the mesmerizing beauty of life both inside and outside the pond. The pond can bring the whole family together as it becomes a great spot for gatherings as you can indulge in feeding the fish or watching wildlife around the pond.
Having a pond increases the value of the property. You will reap this benefit if you choose to sell the property. Having a pond makes the property more attractive for the buyers and so you will be able ask for a premium price for your property.
