Installation
Estate water features, commercial properties, community ponds, golf courses and even storm water ponds are increasingly a setting for mass plantings.
The immediate benefits are two-fold : beautification and healthier water quality. Other niceties include increased property values, a gathering place, and a central focal point to the surrounding landscape.
Plants bring a waterbody to life with vibrant color, gentle movement and by enhancing the allure of the abundant wildlife drawn to it. A destination for dragonflies, bees, birds and frogs among other inhabitants. The continual flurry of activity brings an empty water body to life and creates a space where people and families will gather to enjoy nature.
Maintenance
Periodic plant maintenance is sometimes necessary to eliminate seasonal debris. Cutting back tidies things up for the winter season and reduces accumulating decomposing matter that can contribute to degraded conditions.
Occasionally plants overstep their boundaries and require hedging back during the growing season. Managing plant growth reduces nutrients and helps improve water quality while keeping things in order.
