If you haven’t got room for a full size pond then maybe you could have a look at the many different types of standalone water features there are currently available on the market. These usually feature water trickling from one level to another and can create a brilliant focal point to your garden design.

If you already have a pond then there are many ways you can spruce it up a little – and not spend a fortune. Most involve either a little hard work or a simple new feature.

Such features could perhaps include a water mister – this natty little device can not just add atmosphere to your pond area but many come with LED lights and a remote control so you can change the ambiance at the touch of a button. They are safe for all your pond life and turn the water into mist particles without the addition of any chemicals.

Another option you could go for would be to add some floating water lilies, these are UV resistant and are available in different colours and look just like the real thing. They provide shade for your fish and are a cheap way to add that little something extra to your pond.
