If you use the right plants, nature does all the work for you.
Oxygenating plants and marsh plants keep the water clean.
Bacteria take care of the rest.
This creates a natural balance without the need for technology.

Important tip: Not having enough plants is the number one cause of cloudy water.

Tips for pond planting

Step-by-step guide to setting up a pond

When to plant

You can plant your pond all year round. You’ll see quick results in the spring and summer, but it’s actually in the fall and winter that plants continue to take root, allowing them to start off strong in the spring. Our selection is intentionally small and fully hardy, sourced directly from our nursery. Want to get it right the first time? Then our complete pond kits are the perfect choice.

How to Make a Plant Filter

Building a plant filter is easier than you think. You can create a marsh filter right next to your pond, install a biofilter in the pond, or use a plant island if you want to keep it simple. With the right marsh and oxygenating plants, the water will naturally become clear. They remove the nutrients that algae feed on, keeping your pond crystal clear all year round. And all without any equipment.
