Estate Lakes and Grand Ponds

Estate Lakes and Grand Ponds

Planting for estate lakes and grand ponds is about creating a balanced and elegant water space that complements its surroundings. Unlike smaller ponds, these large water bodies benefit from a mix of deep-water plants like classic water lilies, tall marginals such as irises for structure, and clusters of flowering plants to soften the edges. Thoughtful planting enhances both the natural beauty and biodiversity of the lake, attracting dragonflies, wildfowl, and other wildlife while maintaining water clarity and stability.
