Bring a Pond to Your Property

Want to make your backyard a relaxing, natural oasis? One of the most beautiful and natural water features you can add to your home is an ecosystem pond. An ecosystem pond is a water garden that functions together with its surrounding environment; where you work with Mother Nature, not against her.

Ponds are one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. They play host to a total interrelationship of all organisms in the environment such as birds, fish, frogs, plants, and many microscopic organisms. So ponds not only create a natural ecosystem in their defined environment, but they also fit into the community or life cycle of the entire ecological region. So you are helping your neighborhood as well.



Integrity's experience installing eco-ponds--or any ponds--ensures your pond serves both you and your community as a point of beauty and relaxation.

#AtoZChallenge – Water Features

A backyard water feature serves as a beautiful, natural place to escape from the pressures of the world. Your water garden is your backyard haven. It’s a place where you can regroup your thoughts, relax, and grow in a way that makes all the rest of life more tolerable, meaningful, and enjoyable. No wonder water features have become an increasingly popular trend in landscaping. It’s our personal world of natural streams, ponds, waterfalls, and wildlife. It’s the calm place in the center of your hectic world.

Water features are surprisingly efficient. Along with being a popular way to reconnect with nature, you can transform high-maintenance expanses of lawn into beautiful, low-maintenance water features.

Consider a waterfall for your back yard.

Water features are environmentally friendly and can be installed anywhere, similar to traditional landscaping. They are completely customizable to meet your unique desires. In addition, water features–like other types of landscaping–mature with age, increasing the value of your home more than any other type of home improvement.

They also add landscaping variety: Water plants are truly the “emerald” jewels of the gardening world. Self-watering and hardy, these plants return year after year. You can even plant tropical lilies that bloom at night! The beauty and low maintenance of aquatic plants provide a truly unique accent to any water garden.

Water features offer space for hardy perennials.

Find serene tranquility in your own back yard. Relax beside a water garden and experience a tranquility that transcends today’s stressful world. Recuperate from your hectic day by listening to the soothing sound of a waterfall. Join the many satisfied homeowners who readily profess that adding a water feature to their landscaping was the best investment they’ve ever made.

#AtoZChallenge – J is for Japanese Garden

A Japanese Garden is rare and exotic landscaping treasure.

According to Wikipedia, Japanese Gardens are traditional gardens that create miniature idealized landscapes, often in a highly abstract and stylized way. The gardens of the Emperors and nobles were designed for recreation and aesthetic pleasure, while the gardens of Buddhist temples were designed for contemplation and meditation.

Japanese garden styles include karesansui, Japanese rock gardens or zen gardens, which are meditation gardens where white sand replaces water; roji, simple, rustic gardens with teahouses where the Japanese tea ceremony is conducted; kaiyū-shiki-teien, promenade or stroll gardens, where the visitor follows a path around the garden to see carefully composed landscapes; and tsubo-niwa, small, courtyard gardens.

Japanese gardens were developed under the influences of the Chinese gardens, but gradually Japanese garden designers began to develop their own aesthetics, based on Japanese materials and Japanese culture. By the Edo period, the Japanese garden had its own distinct appearance. Since the end of the 19th century, Japanese gardens have also been adapted to Western settings.

An Oasis of Tranquility in Your Own Backyard

You’ve likely admired them at resorts and on corporate campuses, but have you ever considered the possibility of having a water feature in your own backyard? Not only is it possible, but it's affordable and easy to maintain.

A natural water garden can create a feeling of serenity, or somewhat of a mini-escape from the hectic world around you. What’s even better is that the size and features of your outdoor oasis are easily adaptable to your taste and budget.
A water feature adds a sense of peacefulness to your landscape.

We are seeing the water feature trend more and more in Milwaukee, Waukesha and Racine Counties. Integrity Landscape Services has worked with clients throughout the area to develop custom, low maintenance ponds. Optional pond features, such as waterfalls, streams, and fish and aquatic plants are popular choices. Satisfied clients report that their backyard ponds have helped them to reconnect with nature and enjoy their home’s surroundings.

While maintaining a pond or water feature in your own backyard may seem overwhelming, the state-of-the-art pond systems we install are low maintenance. They are, actually, self-cleaning ecosystems outfitted with a non-toxic liner that is fish and plant-safe. All of the water features we design are constructed specifically to meet your budget and your unique specifications.
