If your back yard looks like this, there's hope. Well here we are in the backyard and as you can see the Aquascape team is already busy installing this water feature. Lets slip down the hill and have a talk with Greg Wittstock of Aquascape Designs and see how things are progressing.

Greg Wittstock, President/CEO, Aquascape Designs - The nice thing about water is that is envelopes all the senses, you have the sight, the sound, the feel, pretty much when you put in a water feature in a yard it is going to cause you to look there, it will be the center of attention. There will be no other thing that we can put in this landscape that will have as much impact as this water feature will.

Lets check out the final product. This backyard has gone through a complete transformation! One of the biggest changes to this backyard isn't what you see, rather it is what you hear. The way the water cascades off the rocks creates a soothing and relaxing sound, much better than the previous noise created by this suburban environment.

This water feature has truly created a backyard oasis for the homeowner to sit back, relax and enjoy.

In the world of gardening and outdoor design, more and more people are opting to use what are called garden ponds in their yards. These are usually found in the backyard of the house and are there simply for decoration. These ponds can be man-made or for those who are lucky enough, they can be natural. The more natural the ponds looks the better then garden will look overall.

Ponds are not without their troubles and hassles however. If you do have a pond in your yard then you must take every effort to ensure that the pond is cleaned and well kept. For each season of the year there are different things that you can do to ensure that your pond is looking great.

In the spring most people are preparing for summer so they must prepare their ponds as well. If the pond is a man made pond then you should increase the circulation of water in the pond. If you have fish in the pond, then you should start feeding the fish when the water temperature reaches fifty degrees or higher. When the water temperature rises, the fish will begin surfacing again. Any unwanted weeds and leaves should also be removed from the ponds as soon as possible in the spring season.

Backyard ponds look great when they have flowers and plant life growing in them. Therefore when the summer season begins you need to begin taking care of your plants. You should begin feeding your plants. This means fertilizing them. During the summer you need to remove dead foliage from the bottom of the pond. If you pond contains any fish then you should remove any dead and rotting fish from the bottom.

The fall of the year is the worst season of the year for having ponds in the yard. This is the time of the year when the leaves begin to fall of the trees. These leaves will surely fall into your ponds and will cover the top of the water. IF the leaves are left in the pond then you could cause damage the water and the plant and animal life that live in the water. When leaves decay they can disturb the ecological balance of the pond, whether it be man made or natural. You should always make every effort to remove all leaves from the water.

Usually during the winter ponds are frozen over. If the pond is man made then you might want to remove the water from the pond if you do not wish it to freeze. In most cases ponds are usually left alone and they freeze during the winter months. Therefore people do not need to do anything to care for them.
