Floating Islands in Water Features Provide Function & Beauty

Waterscaping to Expand and Improve Habitat Quality

Create your own private island! Islandcapes enhance the beauty and biological health of ponds and streams - providing innovative filtration and a lush growing environment for terrestrial plants. Islandscapes offer food and fun for birds, butterflies, dragonflies, fish, frogs and other wildlife.

"Many bodies of water carry an unnaturally high nutrient load, due to runoff containing lawn and garden fertilizers etc.," explains Deb Kitszke of Freedom Ponds. "This can result in a wide range of serious water quality problems. Islandscapes represent a holistic way to mine these nutrients out of the waterway and convert them into a beautiful and wildlife enhancing floating garden habitat."

Biofiltration to Improve Water Quality

Islandscapes will attract beneficial microbes that are most likely already present within your waterway. Your Islandscape will also provide water quality benefits as it filters suspended solids and colloidals from the water. However your island is likely to be even more effective at competing with algae if you dose it with beneficial bacteria.
