Tending to a home garden can be one of the simple joys that make life worth living. As such, homeowners are always looking for ways in which to beautify their outdoor spaces, hoping to make them increasingly more relaxing and attractive. While there’s certainly a lot you can do in terms of selecting the right plants and flowers, as well as planters and other design elements, there’s one thing that trumps them all: adding a water feature.

When you add a pond to a garden, you’re really transforming the space. Not only does the pond present something beautiful to look at, it also fills the air in your garden with the sonorous sounds of rushing water.
