A water feature should be a focal point of the landscape; in many cases they are not. Hidden beneath the aesthetic problems many water gardens lack poor pond filtration and do not have pond plants. Due to improper construction many ponds also have leaks.
There are many poorly built backyard ponds that have overall pond design flaws such as dull or uninspired rockwork. Ponds that are not built correctly may also have water clarity problems as well. All of these problems can be addressed and corrected depending on your needs and budget.
