Water Features and Habitat
Habitats and water features are multi purpose. Increasing the bio diversity of a property is vital to the health of the local environment. Beneficial insects, snakes, birds all add up to a healthier place to live.
The habitats are planted with mostly natives such as sword fern, ocean spray, vine maple, snow berry, violets, and more. The pools are home to small gambusia fish and frogs. The deeper back yard pool even supports leeches.
Both locations are a wonderful aesthetic enhancement to the property, even the chunks of driveway look nice, many of those chunks covered in moss. Both water features have foot high waterfalls by way of pipes from the rain water storage tanks. There are no pumps, no recirculating of the water. One pool is up to 30 inches deep, the other over a foot at its deepest. Both contain about 300 gallons.
They are a great aesthetic touch. The front pool is well known in the neighborhood for the spring frog concerts.
