As a result, the pond looks much larger than it actually is! As the edge plants are far more vivid, they seem to glow in comparison. Mark / CC BY 2.0Marginal wildflowers and tall grasses provide this small cottage pond with color, texture, and vertical interest. You can expect this type of planted margin to change in appearance throughout the year. Of course, spring would be the most attractive period for flowering annuals and perennials.
Grassy plants and hardy daisy flowers are integrated into the landscaping around the pond. A well-like garden pond with a small fountain that pours into the deeper well of water. The garden is filled with stone statues and other accents.

This water feature focuses on the large waterfall tumbling into a small, shallow pool at the bottom. The entire structure is encased by large stones and surrounded by grasses. A small two-section pond with a waterfall between the two. The entire pond is edged by stacked stones that help hide the black liner. Petunias, hostas, and lilies are planted around the outside of the pond, with a few water lilies on the surface. In a small garden, a simple circular pond can look stunning.
Small figures of ducks sit on either side of the largest cascade. This pond, surrounded by orange and yellow toned bricks and rocks is an inviting spot. Bring your favorite garden chair and a good book to enjoy. Peaceful garden with a little pond and a backyard pavilion to relax and entertain.
Small Pond Designs with Planted Margins & Edges
If size is an issue, you may be happy to know that this fish species does not grow beyond 3 inches in length. As such, you can introduce these fish to other fish species without issues. However, it is best not to introduce them into ponds with fairly large fish, as they may eat them because of their small size. It is best to maintain a water temperature of around 70°F to 79°F for this fish species to thrive.
Like the first miniature pond above, this one is more suitable for just a handful of fish that remain small throughout their lives. It does not have the carrying capacity for higher densities. Quieter fountains, like these urns, can be placed about 6 feet from where guests gather without drowning out conversation.

Reflecting Seasonal Color
Let us know which fish you picked for your home pond and why. Like many other smaller varieties of fish, both Mollies and Guppies reproduce fairly quickly. You may need to sell the babies to your local pet store ever so often. That being said, never release them into the wild, as they are not acclimatized to it and will eventually perish.
The bright yellow to orange hues of goldfish would add pleasant pops of color to this design. Herry Lawford / CC BY 2.0A raised rectangular pond would be a perfect addition to spacious gardens that need a little more structure. Reasonably straightforward to construct and maintain, ponds like this are a great investment for family fun. The raised borders also provide their inhabitants with more protection from pets and wild visitors. The smooth edges double as a sort of “pondside bench” on which spectators can safely sit and observe the goldfish.

These fish are known to eat smaller fish species like Molly, Guppy, Goldfish, and Koi, amongst others. Keep in mind that this fish species can grow up to four feet in length, so you should have adequate pond space for them to thrive. Although you can introduce this fish species with your other pond fish, Weather Loaches enjoy the company of their own kind.
However, most Fancy Goldfish thrive in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F. Some of the different Fancy Goldfish brands you may find include Lionhead, Fantail, Comet, Bubble Eye, etc. Moreover, their slow-moving nature means that they can’t defend themselves properly or fight against other fish for food. This is why it is best to keep Fancy Goldfish alone, rather than introduce them with other fish species that are bigger and faster than them.
The stone path that doubles as the pond’s border allows visitors to appreciate the stunning sea view from any point beside the pond. Once it produces offsets, you can separate these and distribute them to other key sections of the pond. The perfect options are those with large, detailed leaflets, like those seen here. An absolutely delightful water feature is also encased in the same rigid edge material. Fine spurts of water flow, in identical trajectories, from the gaps in between the stones.
It is an excellent use of a large space to create a beautiful yet simple water feature. This small pond and waterfall feature was built using pavers, natural stone and pondliner. The plantings look like they've been there for years, and include a mix of perennial ground covers tucked in among the stones, and specimen plants. Lucy Wayland / CC BY-SA 2.0This small pond is edged with pebbles and light-colored stones for a minimal finish. The footbridge, which divides the pond into a smaller and larger pool, is almost as light as the stones. This results in a cohesive design that draws attention to the natural colors in and around the pond.
