Koi ponds are ponds constructed specifically for keeping Koi craps ((Japanese fancy carp)). They have to be constructed keeping in mind the various needs of the Koi fish and generally require a lot of maintanence.

Wildlife Ponds

Wildlife ponds are ponds that have been constructed from keeping aquatic wildlife like turtles, fishes, frogs, tadpoles, Dragonflies etc. Wildlife ponds need as much care as Koi ponds as they have amphibious wildlife that can venture outside water. We won't be discussing more about wildlife ponds in this website. To get further information these types of ponds you can visit the link.

Above the Ground and Below the Ground Ponds

Depending upon your preferences you can decide to go for above the ground or below the ground ponds. Above the ground ponds as the name suggests are ponds that remain above the surface of ground. As no digging is required, these ponds can be brought into working condition in very less time. These types of backyard ponds are best considered when the requirement is of a non-permanent pond.

Below the ground ponds are permanent ponds that are built by digging the soil surface to required depths. They can be built using performed liners, flexible liners or concrete.
