John Riehl of Passion Pool & Pond connects his clients with nature by way of his beautiful man-made ponds that act as a habitat for many animals and insects.
Ponds, even those that are man-made are living ecosystems and require your knowledgeable maintenance. Algae control and water plant editing are part of a pond’s regular upkeep while keeping a pond oxygenated is crucial for fish. An aerator will help with the latter concern.
Pond areas can mimic natural mud patches and vegetative habitats that support many species of plants, animals, and insects. Likewise, using native plants is crucial for any manmade pond; native wetland plants are one of the most important elements to help wildlife.
A qualified pond installation company will provide you and your family with a life-changing experience, a beautiful ecosystem in your backyard.
