The First Step To Creating A Great Fish Pond...
Is To Find The Perfect Space On Your Property.

​Ecosystem Fish Ponds
Whether your Chicagoland area home is on a city lot or an expansive country locale, we have a pond or water garden option available to fit. Deciding to add a fish or KOI pond  is the first step to incorporating a quiet retreat or a beautiful place to entertain guests in the St. Charles Illinois & Chicagoland area. There are many other things to consider. As in real estate, the key success with a fish or KOI  pond and waterfall is location, location, location. The best place is where you will see it most, either in proximity to a patio or deck, or for viewing your stream and waterfall from indoors. Keeping your pond away from roof runoff and falling leaves, and finding an area free of tree roots, pipes or underground cables are just as important.

Another factor to include when planning your St. Charles Illinois or Chicagoland pond are the maintenance requirements. Assessing your availability of time and desire to maintain plantings and fish versus a low-maintenance pond is important. Other factors are our climate here in Kane County Illinois, size, style (formal or informal), water flow, and whether to include a waterfall, and electricity access for powering a pump. There are also safety considerations, such as electrical and preventing access to small children.
Koi Pond in Backyard
Koi Pond Design
Making the decision to incorporate fish or amphibians are important in the designing stages as well. Fish need oxygenated water to survive. Incorporating a fountain or waterfall is an effective way to introduce oxygen into the water. In cooler climates like Chicagoland, fish require a minimum of 24 inches to overwinter under the ice. In warmer climates, fish need the same 24 inches so they can hide from the heat of the day. 

Types of pond fish include the common goldfish and the Japanese Koi. There a dozens of varieties of goldfish, and if cared for properly can live up to 25 years. They can grow to more than 12 inches long, are extremely hardy and are compatible with Japanese Koi.

Koi fish are a popular and beautiful addition to ponds, and can survive in freezing conditions. Koi can grow to over 1-2 feet long and live 15 to 20 years. They are known to jump, swim up on lily pads to get trapped food and can be trained to eat out of your hand.

Ponds, Inc. has great pond design ideas and we are ready and available to design the water feature of your dreams. Many aspects go into the proper planning and design.  Contact us today!
