𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝗮 𝗞𝗼𝗶 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 Adding a koi pond to your deck or patio design will infuse unique magic and wonder to your outdoor living space. Plus, you’ll love relaxing to the sound of flowing water. Koi, or Nishikigoi, are vibrantly colored Amur carp that have been selectively bred in Japan since the 19th century. Affectionately called Japanese Carp and “swimming jewels”, they symbolize prosperity, companionship, and love. These beautiful fish are extremely hardy and can survive outdoors even during brutally cold winters. Deciding to incorporate a koi pond into your Kansas City deck design is a worthy endeavor. There are several pond plans to choose from and you can get as creative as you want; however, koi and other pond life require morning sun, so the water stays cool. Afternoon sun will cause the water to become too warm for their survival. Therefore, the most important part of the design process is choosing a spot for the pond where it will only receive light in the early hours of the day. Bring Life to Your Deck or Patio with a Pond Including a pond in your dream deck or patio design will take it to a new level. Not only are you incorporating a relaxing water feature, but you’ll enjoy watching the fish swimming lazily along as aquatic plants add aesthetic appeal to your outdoor living space.
