New and and more wildlife also show up at the ponds. From frog’s, toads and birds to deer and turkey.
Always fun to sit back relax and watch what happens. Thank you as well for showing support.

tnx Darrell i realise what great an opportunity nature has in store for us especially in the sight of how natural wetlands are disapearing. it not only offers recreation to us but conserves desperate fauna that depends on the existence of these water bodies.

keep it up

Hey Jim,

Wow that does sound like a picture perfect paradise. All my best with your retirement and the building process.
Feel free to sign up for the “Definitive Guide” for more pond ideas and resources. And shoot me an email if you have any questions.
Make it a GREAT day!
Darrell

I am in the process of building our retirement log cabin up in the woods of western N.C. My cabin will be located on the side of a valley facing a small creek at the bottom. There I plan on building a small 1/3 acre pond with a small island in the middle. Can’t wait! This site is great and will help.

Hey LaurieB,
You a very welcome. After building WhatPond it has just been amazing as a private Oasis not only for family, friends and recreation.
And like you said, the wildlife that the pond attracts can be entertaining and a new source for their needs as well. Deer, frog’s, bird’s and many other smaller creatures enjoy and use the pond, even seen a couple Walking Sticks, pretty neat… Add game fish, maybe some Koi and have fun for all ages.

Hey Evelyn, thank you for the comment.
I appreciate it and coming from a landscape designer and goes to show how much of an impact ponds can have on folks.
Always excited to see spring come and get back to the pond way of life.
