I love the pond but I'm seriously thinking it's not worth it right now.
At least they don't bite. But it does sound like they stain and surely look like a mess. We also looked online at a home which had a pond of some sort in the back............huge back space and the other homes were far off in the distance. Not a golf course lot, but plenty of space without paying the golf course prices..........however, I ALSO wondered about why people kept telling me not to buy "near water"........so, I did the research for you and for my own curiosity. It's a dilemma for sure. My hubby loves to power wash everything. I'll send him over.
