Owning a pond can be a rewarding experience, and a well-design ed pond can be a wonderful addition to any landscape. Your pond should be carefully planned to ensure that it meets your objectives. Planning requires a careful assessment of your goals for your pond, how much time you have for maintenance, and how you intend to use a wonderful pond amenity. We consider your preferences, such as whether you want a water garden or a koi pond. Before a design consultation, it is important for you to decide what type of pond you intend to add to your landscape.

A well-designed pond can be a wonderful addition to any landscape, but the design process requires careful thinking. Pond design involves balancing many competing factors to ensure that your objectives are met. To achieve this balance, the planning stage requires addressing many critical questions: Do you want a water garden or a koi pond? How much time do you have to maintain a pond? How much space do you have for a pond? How will the pond harmonize with the surrounding landscape? Questions like these are often overlooked by the hobbyist. With our insights and experience, we will guide you in making these decisions before following through with your pond design.

Water gardens are typically around 18" to 24" deep, have gravel or stone bottoms, and include plants that serve as the main focal. True koi ponds differ in that they typically have steep edges and average depths of around 4 feet. No matter what type of pond you wish to have, water quality is always a primary concern in ponds because it is key in maintaining healthy koi. Therefore, designing an appropriate filtration system is one of the crucial aspects of a successful koi pond. Regardless of the type of pond you choose to have, all elements of it must work together as a system that provides an appropriate environment for its plants and fish. At Atlanta Koi and Pond we have seen many ponds. Some are exciting, some are disappointing, and only a few are exceptional. Exceptional ponds stand out because their designs contain the best balance of engineering and aesthetics.

When you invest in a water garden or koi pond, your expectations  include the aspects of is continual, natural beauty along with a healthy ecosystem. This can be accomplished with relative ease if the pond keeper is knowledgeable and experienced in the routines of regular pond maintenance. The problem is, most hobbyists have the very best intentions but lack the knowledge, experience, and time necessary to keep their pond in top condition. With that in mind, Splendor Koi and Pond offers various pond maintenance services to assist you.
