Small Backyard Ponds Rochester|NY|Acorn Ponds & Waterfalls Small ponds are an attractive option in Rochester New York (NY) for a number of reasons! If you’re under the impression that a pond simply won’t fit in your yard … think again! Ponds come in a variety of shapes and sizes and their versatility is what makes them such a great addition to your landscape … in addition to the music of the waterfalls and the birds and butterflies they attract. You might not think to use big rocks for a smaller pond, but a few boulders create focal points, softened by aquatic plants. The flat rock on the left is a perfect spot to sit and dangle tired tootsies in the water. The waterfall is in proportion to these small ponds, nestled snug against the corner of a patio. This used to be a boring patch of grass, but now the homeowners love sitting outside to drink in this view. A waterfall and winding stream spill gently into this small pond. A mix of aquatic and terrestrial plants mingle with the rocks and water. Not sure what to do with that empty space beneath an outdoor staircase? Add a waterfall and pond! This one tucks nicely into this once unused area next to a lower level patio.

What a delightful read! Small backyard ponds truly offer a slice of serenity right in your own yard. One additional tip to consider is adding a variety of water plants like water lilies or lotus for not only visual appeal but also to provide shade for your fish and maintain water quality. These plants can thrive in smaller ponds and create a lush, natural oasis. So, when planning your pond, remember, it's not just about size but the thoughtful elements you incorporate.
