Do you know installing a pond in your yard has ecological, economical, and mental health benefits? Well, maybe you’ve never given it a deep thought. While professionally installed ponds enhance your yard’s aesthetic and allow you to own some koi fish, the pond can be a safe haven for wildlife, reduce your lawn maintenance cost, and enhance your mood.
Here are a few reasons that will make you consider installing a pond on your property.
Attracts wildlife and Birds
Once you install a backyard pond, just know it belongs to you, your family, the fish, birds, and the local wildlife. A pond on your property is like a magnet for beautiful birds and wildlife. It’s one of the best ways you can promote biodiversity. Your pond will act as a source of food and drinking water and provide recreational opportunities for these creatures.
Less ground to mow, water, and fertilize
Having a pond on your property takes up some space meaning less grass to mow, water, and fertilize. Since the United States uses over 600 million gallons of gasoline each year on mows and lawn trimming, installing a pond can help reduce at least a few gallons that release carbon dioxide into the air. You will also be cutting some costs on fertilizer and water bills required to mow an expansive garden.
Creates a relaxing environment for an excellent mental health
There is something unique with the sound of water. Many people find it calming and improve their sleep. Live Science reports the sound of running water initiates a white noise which has a relaxing effect on our brain. If you want to enhance the soothing experience of your pond, install a fountain to increase the sound of the water.
