Take a good close look at the surrounding area in the pictures you have collected. You can incorporate as much or as little as you like. The only limits are your imagination and budget. Once your pond is installed and operational you will notice many changes in the way your yard appears. Other than the obvious there will be new daily visitors.
Birds love the sound of trickling water.
They are drawn to it like a magnet. The sound of the water can be very tranquil to you as well. The birds will come to your pond at least twice during the day. Once in the morning and once in the evening to take a bath in the shallow end of the pond or the stream. Of course once the birds are there they will eat the tasty snack of bugs that is all around.
