Do you want your backyard to stand out from the rest? If you answered yes to these questions, we have a landscaping solution that will make your yard come to life: ponds. These unique and gorgeous water features are as versatile as homeowners themselves, and they can transform a plot of grass in suburbia into a refreshing and inspiring space. Dorian Construction can help. Here are a few other reasons you may want to consider putting a pond in your backyard. 

Rest and Relax

Not only does a pond add beauty and style to your garden or backyard, but it also adds an element of relaxation. Countless scientific studies have demonstrated that water has a positive impact on our brains, causing us to feel calm and meditative. Research performed by a published marine biologist named Wallace J. Nichols further suggests that simply being around water gives our brains and sense a rest from overstimulation. If you often feel stressed out after work, a backyard pond may be just the thing to ease your tension!

Ponds Add Value to Your Property

When people shop for homes, they are looking for something that stands out. Even if you aren’t looking to sell quite yet, adding one pond or multiple ponds to your backyard will increase the value of your property and contribute to long term financially security. It is a double win – you get to enjoy the personal benefits of a gorgeous backyard landscape now, and you will reap the financial benefits if you ever choose to sell.

Get in Touch with Nature

In our busy city and suburbia lives, it can be easy to lose touch with nature. Having a pond helps remind homeowners of how beautiful nature truly is. Whether they are filled with koi or water lilies, ponds are also havens for fish and wildlife. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover that ponds attract a plethora of wildlife species such as frogs, toads, birds, and dragonflies. Toads are especially good for your garden, as they help with controlling insects.

A Personalized Pond

When it comes to pond personalization, the sky’s the limit. There are several different styles of ponds to choose from, and homeowners have the opportunity to design a water feature that fits their lifestyle and the overall look of their backyard. We don’t do cookie-cutter projects at Dorian Construction Group, so we work hand in hand with our clients to make sure their backyard gets the makeover they dream of.
