10 REASONS THAT BACKYARD PONDS FEED THE SOUL

Sometimes, Phoenix homeowners are on the fence about in which home/landscape improvement they should invest. There are so many to choose from! And you want value for your hard-earned money.

In our humble opinion, a pond or water feature should top the list. What other landscape/home improvement choice feeds your soul on such a deep level?

TOP TEN REASONS A POND FEEDS THE SOUL:

10.  Because there’s a little “Huck Finn” in all of us. You NEED a place where you can take your shoes off and enjoy the experience of dangling your toes in the water while watching colorful fish frolic around you, and lush aquatic plants flourish — even in the hottest of Phoenix weather. A pond, stream, or water garden is just such a place!


9.  Because you DESERVE to come home at the end of every busy techno-filled work day and relax both your mind and body by stepping outside, popping a top, and kicking your feet up.  “Ahhhh…..,” you might say as you admire the pond’s aquatic plants, feed your pet Koi, or just watch the water flow by in a babbling brook.


8. Because you need some low-tech relief in your high-tech life: a detox, so to speak. TV, and other electronic gadgets, stimulate your mind continuously, and you NEED to give your brain some free-play time. Phoenix homeowners nw enjoy ponds that allow their minds to wander, meditate, relax, and truly escape for awhile. A lot of people even nap next to their stream! Can you picture a hammock in your future?

7.  Because you would just ADORE being able to look out your window and see beautiful birds and interesting critters, your morale lifted by the fact that you’ve chosen a truly GREEN landscape choice that draws nature to YOU, giving wildlife what they need to survive. You will enjoy seeing native and migratory birds, as well as quail families, etc,. enjoying the healthy, organic water that you have provided. And because it’s all-organic, no chemicals are being added to the environment to keep the water crystal clear.


6.  Because water speaks to all of us. Human beings are made up of mostly water, which is why we subconsciously recognize the language of water. You NEED to just listen as the water trickles over rocks and chatters along the stream. What’s it saying to you?

5.  Because you DESERVE to look forward to coming home every day after work, and enjoying being home on your days off. Imagine the anticipation of walking through the door, getting comfortable, popping a top or pouring an ice tea, and plopping down in your favorite chair next to an ecosystem pond that looks like nature graced the property before you built your home there. Your neighbors will wonder how you managed to get ahold of the only riparian habitat in the area!


4.  Because your home NEEDS to be your sanctuary, your haven, your respite from all the things that are constantly vying for your attention. The ecosystem ponds of Phoenix homeowners now beg to provide them with that atmosphere, without demanding much of anything in return.

3.  Experts agree that a good night’s sleep is enhanced by the natural sound of water, and you NEED a good night’s sleep, don’t you? Imagine moseying off to bed after even just a few minutes of quiet contemplation time next to your pond or stream, completely relaxed and at peace, or, better yet, sleeping with the window open drifting into slumber to the sound of a babbling brook.

2.  Because you NEED something in your life that gives more than it takes, and a properly built ecosystem pond takes so little upkeep, but provides infinite hours of enjoyment with lush plants, playful Koi, and the soulful sound and look of flowing water.

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON YOU NEED A POND…
1.  Because it truly FEEDS the SOUL. You need to take time to be a human-being instead of a human-doing! An ecosystem pond is alive: captivating, fascinating, entertaining – and implores you to lose yourself for even just a little while in its presence to replenish your spirit.

Now, that’s just our humble opinion. I’m sure you can think of more!
