Q: Do ponds add to your home’s value?

• <div><p>In short, yes, a pond can add to your home&rsquo;s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard&rsquo;s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves.

Q: Do natural pools attract pests like mosquitoes?

• <div><p>Natural swimming pools are designed to deter pests, including mosquitoes. While any body of water can potentially attract pests, the natural filtration system keeps the water clean and constantly moving. Mosquitoes specifically are attracted to standing water, so the continuously circulating water in a natural pool makes it an inhospitable environment for them.</p></div>

Q: How much is pond maintenance?

• <div><p>One reason you may want to fill in your pond is the cost of maintenance. Pond cleaning may cost about $1,000 for an annual cleanup, or monthly visits may cost $75 to $100 per visit. If you don&rsquo;t want to spend that much per year on pond upkeep, you may consider filling in your pond.</p></div>

Q: Should a koi pond be in the sun or shade?

• <div><p>Koi fish should be in the shade and can&rsquo;t be directly exposed to the sun. Consider building your koi pond in a shaded spot or hanging an awning over the top to control the amount of sunlight coming in. Learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-develop-landscaping-plan-your-yard.htm">how to design a landscape</a> properly.</p></div>

Q: How much water do misters use?

• <div><p>Most home misters use <b>several cups of water</b> in a couple of minutes, or around a <b>gallon per hour of use</b>. That varies greatly depending on the size of the system and the power of the pump. If you are using professional services, you should ask about water use for your planned system when you&rsquo;re getting an estimate. If you are using a water tank, make sure it&rsquo;s filled before operation.</p></div>
