IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN INTERACTIVE WATER FEATURE KOI
PONDS ARE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY LANDSCAPE. KOI PONDS
PROVIDE A SENSE OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY, AN OASIS OF SORTS
IN THIS HECTIC WORLD WE LIVE IN. HAVING A KOI POND IS A
STRESS FREE WAY TO KEEP A HOUSE HOLD PET.
ALTHOUGH THERE IS AN UP FRONT EXPENSE IN PURCHASING KOI
THEIR UP KEEP IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS MONEY, AND THEY ARE LESS
TROUBLE THAN A DOG, OR CAT. ANOTHER BENEFIT OF A KOI POND IS
THAT IT INCREASES YOUR HOME VALUE AND THE HOME VALUE OF YOUR
NEIGHBORS.
KOI PONDS IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE AT SOME
POINT IN THE POND A DEPTH OF 6 FT. THEY WILL REQUIRE A
HEATER FOR THE WINTER MONTHS, YEAR ROUND THEY WILL REQUIRE
FILTRATION, AERATION, AND SOME CHEMICAL UP KEEP.
POND CARE IS NOT BRAIN SURGERY WE CAN TRAIN ANY HOME
OWNER TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR KOI POND, BUT WE DO OFFER OUR
SERVICES FOR THOSE THAT LIKE THE HANDS OFF APPROACH.
ANOTHER OPTION RATHER THAN HAVING THE DEEPER YEAR ROUND POND
IS TO BUILD A SHALLOWER VERSION THESE PONDS REQUIRE THAT THE
FISH BE REMOVED, AND KEPT INSIDE DURING THE WINTER. THERE
ARE SERVICES THAT WILL DO THIS FOR YOU BUT WE ARE NOT ONE OF
THEM.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH KOI PONDS ARE THE WILD LIFE
THAT LIKE TO EAT FISH, LIKE RACCOONS, AND SOME BIRDS. THERE
ARE SOME SOLUTIONS LIKE BUILDING FISH SAFE SPOTS IN THE POND
DESIGN, MOTION SENSOR WATER SPRAYS, AND NETTING. HOW FAR YOU
HAVE TO GO TO PROTECT YOUR FISH IS DEPENDENT ON HOW WILD
YOUR NEIGHBOR HOOD IS.
NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF KOI POND YOU WANT, YOU CAN COUNT ON
ALLSCAPE TO DO A QUALITY INSTALLATION.
