Koi Pond Design : Form And Function

KOI POND DESIGN --What is a koi pond, exactly? Definitions vary, but generally any ornamental body of water that is intended to provide the proper habitat to support koi falls into that classification. And although koi ponds lend serenity and peace to outdoor landscapes, many factors need to be considered to create these oases. Location, drainage issues, water depth, the presence of water features and filtration all need to work cohesively to achieve the perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality.
