Staring out into your yard, you may realize you have no idea what you want to do with this space. It needs something but you’re not sure what. Maybe you want something beautiful or interactive. Perhaps you want to add an element to your outdoor space, but don’t want to have to commit loads of time to maintain it. Regardless, your backyard needs a statement piece. Let our professional staff at New Hope Aquascapes and Landscaping make a suggestion you may not have thought of … a koi pond.
Koi Pond History
Koi are bright, orange-patterned fish that descend from common Japanese carp. The practice of raising koi spans generations. Koi pond enthusiasts can be found in every corner of the world. In Japan, koi fish are associated with good luck. The placement of a koi pond in the front of your home is said to bring to fill your life with good luck and prosperity. However, having a koi pond in the backyard is now more common among koi enthusiasts.
Are koi fish a lot of work?
Do you ever want to have a pet but don’t want the responsibility that comes with it? Worry no more. Koi fish are tremendous pets. The reason koi gained so much popularity is because they are hardy and low-maintenance—the ideal combination for a busy person. Koi love human interactions and can let you feed them from your hand comfortably. You can even pat them gently. Lastly, the ponds themselves also need very little maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about costs.
Why should you choose a koi pond?
We understand that adding a koi pond is an option you may not have considered before. That’s why our experienced staff at New Hope Aquascapes and Landscaping in Kingsport wants to show you the benefits that can come from a koi pond.
1) Health benefits: A koi pond relaxes and lowers stress rates. High stress leads to high blood pressure and heart troubles.
2) Inspiration: A koi pond can serve as a natural muse, getting your creative juices flowing.
3) Customizable: Koi ponds come in a wide array of sizes and shapes, fitting your overall vision for your outdoor landscape. The fish themselves also are diverse, with 300 fish of different colors and sizes available to stock your new Jonesborough koi pond.
4) Property value: A koi pond adds an element of refinement and elegance that enhances the curb appeal of your home.
5) Natural insect repellent: Koi eat insects and their larvae meaning they are natural pest exterminators right there in your backyard.
