Ponds and water gardens explained
Is there difference between koi ponds and water garden ponds? Yes, there is a difference. A koi pond is designed to hold fish, has very particular filtration systems and can take on a more modern look, leaning towards an swimming pool look at times, however they can also look like garden ponds.
Often they are rectangular and above ground. They are built for the koi collector who wants to showcase their fish. The koi pond is designed for maximum enjoyment of the koi so plants and natural stone are only used to accent the design or in filtration.
Garden ponds and water gardens are natural looking, they can be designed to hold fish, or not. A water garden can even be a pondless waterfall that has no actual body of water. Just a stream or waterfalls that disappear into an underground reservoir.
These gardens are also designed with waterside plants in mind. Often made from natural rocks and river stone they are not intended to look man made but as though they have been there forever. Often the water level is below ground so digging is necessary. This maintains the intended natural look.
Both koi ponds and water gardens are a great addition to any property, they often over lap in definition because the art form is very mailable. Coming in all shapes and sizes they can be built in almost any yard.
The size and style of water garden you want to construct will depend on the size of yard you have, the amount of money you wish to spend, as well as your personal tastes.
Then there are also recreational ponds and water gardens that are built for swimming. They have all the benefits of a traditional pool without the chemicals. Instead they have a healthy environmental impact, both wildlife and people will benefit from more ponds and water gardens in our neighborhoods

Are water gardens DIY?
Water gardens can be as simple as a small pond created from a pre-formed plastics container, very easy to install for someone handy. Or they can be larger as to include large fish, ponds people can wade or swim in, and waterfalls.
So of course its possible to do it yourself. However, larger ponds can be a big undertaking for ‘do it yourself types’ and can take considerable time, effort and money.
Also, the ratios of filtration to water quantity in ponds and water gardens is essential for the prevention of algae and healthy environment for fish.
We recommend everyone carefully do research and reach out to others who have done the projects for advice. Here at Pondering Paradise, we are happy to help with any questions you have.
