I decided to build this Koi pond after visiting Japan a number of times and admired their water gardens ponds and Koi. Our design has three ponds, the top pond has water hyacinths in it and is the filter for the pond, the water is crystal clear. The middle pond has a waterfall from the top pond where the water gets aerated. The bottom pond holds about a 2000 gallons of water and the koi.

You can spend hours and hours carefully planning and creating a beautiful water garden, but if you overlook the importance of lighting, you will only be able to view the garden during daylight hours. Adding flowers and fish are important, but so is adding lighting. The mix of light and water is mesmerizing. Reflections and colors dance around, creating an ever changing mix of visual stimulation. Proper lighting will not just show your water garden in low light or night, but it will truly show it off.

To be able to make a Garden of Eden in your backyard, you will need to do what is best for your home and garden. For this reason, you will want to decorate with the latest designs available. To produce a visual masterpiece that not only offers tranquility and lovely landscaping but also is a winner because of its elegance and simplicity, try using an outdoor water fountain. It can become the focal point of your garden, and you will hear delightful splashing sounds when you are there.
