Water Gardening

Allison’s has been creating water gardens for over 25 years. There are a variety of water garden styles and designs you can create. A water garden can include fountains, waterfalls, small ponds up to lavish rockwork and lighting systems. The most important aspect to consider is the location of the water feature. Most fish and plants need 6-8 hours of sunlight to achieve their potential. Choose a spot in on your property away from trees and large shrubs for best sunlight and prevent leaf litter build up in the pond.

Things to consider when planning your water garden.

Vantage point
Ability to maintain the garden
Budget
Style of your landscape whether its traditional or a naturalistic feature you want to achieve

Aquatic Plants
Plants should cover approximately 50-60 percent of the water�s surface. There are many types of plantings to choose from at Allison�s. Some are free floating while others are marginal to submerged. Selection depends on what variety you want. Some plants provide oxygen into your pond while others provide foraging or hiding spots for your fish to enjoy. All provide for good pond health and water quality.

Fish
It is not complete without fish just ask any kid. Fish can be a great addition to your water garden. They are good scavengers and great at cleaning up debris and even mosquito larvae.

Koi
In Japan, Koi are a symbol of good luck. They are also associated with perseverance, adversity and strength. The oldest living Koi is over 400 years old! We offer a variety of sizes and lineages of Koi.

Microbe Lift
We at Allison’s carry Microbe-Lift products for our water garden customers and for our own use in pond maintenance and installation. Microbe-Lift products are natural bacteria that aid in the breakdown of waste that can be harmful to your fish and plants. Microbe-Lift products clean the environment, getting rid of pollutants in an all-natural way by breaking them down to their basic elements and returning them to the biosphere. Because Microbe-Lift products are also biodegradable and non-toxic, they are safe to use around humans, pets and wildlife. They are truly some of the most environmentally friendly products available. www.microbelift.com
