How much does pond installation cost?

• <div><p>Installation costs range from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on pond size, materials, and additional features like waterfalls or fish habitats.</p></div>

How many fish can live in my pond?

• <div><p>How many fish can call your pond home depends on the volume of the pond and the fish size. Your pond's filtration system also influences the number of fish that will thrive in a pond. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 inch of fish for every square foot in a pond that's 2 feet deep. Another rule of thumb you can follow is to have one koi fish for every 200 gallons of water or two goldfish for every 200 gallons. </p></div>

Should a water feature be in the sun or shade?

• <div><p>Placing your water feature in direct sun can speed up evaporation, leading to pump damage and algae growth. Shade or partial shade serves as the ideal location for most water features—just watch out for tree and plant debris that may fall in and clog the pump. </p></div>

Should I leave water in my pond over the winter?

• <div><p>Even if you empty your pond before the winter, there’s a good chance it will refill naturally. It’s ideal in most cases, then, to leave water in your pond and winterize it instead. This method will prevent ice damage and protect wildlife. Plus, it’ll lessen the steps required to reopen your pond in the spring.</p></div>

Why are frogs attracted to your yard?

• <div><p>Frogs may love your yard and want to take up residence for several reasons. Yards can offer a moist environment or access to water. Frogs also eat insects—your yard may offer a steady stream of their preferred diet, such as grasshoppers, crickets, fruit flies, and more.</p></div>
