Waterfalls
Without a doubt a waterfall for your new, existing, or intended pond will be the most prominent, most important factor of your water feature.
The benefits of building waterfalls for ponds continue to grow. Aside from the obvious pleasant sound of a waterfall welcoming you and your guests into your own tropical paradise, there are many other practical benefits you may not know about.
Pond waterfalls actually help to decrease the traffic sounds near your home, giving you the backyard oasis you thought wasn’t possible due to the unwanted noise. This of course, increases you home’s property value too!
Having a pond waterfall will help with mosquitoes, as they cannot breed in moving water. This benefit is of particular interest to anyone concerned about the West Nile Virus and heartworm, which mosquitoes carry.
Moving water discourages mosquitoes, which love to breed in stagnant pools of water. Adding a pond waterfall or steam can help prevent your pond from becoming a neighborhood breeding ground and will make those evenings by the pond more enjoyable for everyone. |
