Plan your Pond Restoration in Chester County

Pond Restoration

A Pond Restoration can mean many things to pond owners. When you are considering a pond restoration it is safe to say that you have an existing pond that is in need of attention.  One reason for a restoration would be you inherited a pond with a home purchase.  It may also just be time for a pond restoration.

It is fairly common for us to be contacted by new homeowners that find themselves the owner of an inherited water feature.   We also have homeowners who have decided it’s time to think about a pond restoration to enhance or expand their existing pond. There are several options here, such as adding a waterfall or bog filter.  All of these changes are considered a pond restoration.

There is a saying that pertains to pond owners and statics prove this to be true.  Most pond owners in their lifetime own an average of three ponds or water features.  The first pond or aquatic container garden is the “starter pond”, the second is the pond that they thought they wanted, and the third pond is what they ultimately wanted all along.  Maybe it was initially due to space or financial limitations, but the great part about water gardens is that you are never stuck with what you have!

Pond Restoration can be done at almost any time of year. When you combine a homeowner’s interests and the pond professionals’ creativity, the sky’s the limit to restore or upgrade your pond.  Some pond owner’s may think that they are limited by space, but that is not true.  Ponds and pondless waterfalls can be adapted to almost any area.

As pond technology evolves, pond filtration systems and products also improve.  What might have been a large unsightly external filtration system that resembled pool equipment, can now be a much more contained system.  This happens with the combination of mechanical and biological filtration.  Aquatic plants have also improved and they are extremely beneficial to maintain a healthy ecosystem.  Consider trying at least one new plant or a tropical flowering plant each year.

Pond Restoration doesn’t mean the complete pond needs to be uprooted. There are many times that just a specific area needs attention, not the whole pond.  Adding a waterfall can be a restoration that doesn’t always involve the entire of the pond.  The addition of a waterfall certainly adds a WOW factor to any pond, even a small one.  Adding boulders to your pond can add an architectural element as well as safety.  Integrity is a design element that should always be considered when doing any project, be it inside or outside your home. 

There are so many ways to implement a pond restoration.  Be sure to consider naturalization and creativity when planning your pond restoration. Following these simple instructions will easily allow you to add beauty and tranquility to your outdoor living space.  Lastly, if you are planning a pond restoration see if you are able to visit properties with ponds or attend a Pond Tour.  Seeing what other pond owners have done to enhance the pond lifestyle can be one of the best ways to obtain knowledge and be truly inspired!
