Enhancing your pond with fun and interesting features can not only create a visually appealing space but also provide entertainment and enjoyment. Here are some fun additions you can consider for your pond:​
Underwater LED Lights
Illuminate your pond, waterfalls, and landscaping at night with LED lights. Lights add a magical touch to the water, highlighting fish and creating shimmering effects. They will also draw more insects to your water feature at night which the frogs will love!

Pond-Side Seating: Create a comfortable space to enjoy your pond by adding seating areas. Consider benches, flat boulders, hammocks, or even a small deck overlooking the water for a relaxing retreat.

Pond Bridges
If your pond is large enough, consider adding a charming bridge. It not only serves a functional purpose but also adds an element of whimsy and charm to your pond.

Surround your pond with a carefully curated garden. Incorporate a mix of flowers, shrubs, and rocks to create a visually appealing landscape that complements the water feature and blooms with different colors throughout the season.
