Pests and Insects: The final reason we don\u2019t recommend water features, especially one’s large ponds or reservoirs, is that they can attract wildlife and insects that you may not want on your property (ex. Attracting mosquitos to an area where you would entertain)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n <\/p>\n
Contemporary Pond-less Water Features<\/h2>\n Of course, some customers have their hearts set on a water feature in their landscape design, at this point MPS recommends designing it without a pond reservoir. Pond-less water features are simply waterfalls or streams without the presence of an open water reservoir. Pond-less water features pump water from an in-ground, or covered, reservoir through the waterfall spillway and continue to re-circulate it without a pond or open water reservoir.<\/p>\n
We highly recommend pond-less water features because they require much less maintenance, are more cost-effective and easier to winterize. With a wide variety of styles and sizes on the market, pond-less water features are the perfect option if you want to incorporate the tranquil sound of water into your landscape design.
