1 WOW YOUR LANDSCAPE
Take your garden from barren to beautiful with a pond edged with rocks and plants. Adding a waterfall is a straightforward process for DIYers. For equipment, see buildyourpond.com.au.
2 EXOTIC BLOOMS
A flotilla of waterlilies floating on the surface of your pond is downright dreamy. This enchanting perennial also helps prevent algae growth while providing shade and shelter for fish.
3 SMALL SPACE STAR
Nestle a low-maintenance bubbling water fountain among lush garden plants and it will be the star of your outdoor space. Explore your DIY options – free standing or a recirculating fountain with a hidden reservoir.
4 STILL AND QUIET
Liven up your landscape with a shallow reflective pond. It helps a modern home merge with the natural surrounds and softens its angular lines.
5 JUST ADD WATER
You don't need acres of land nor unlimited cash for a fully equipped pond, especially if you go the DIY route.
6 MESMERISING KOI
Koi will prove an endless source of fascination.
