WATER GARDENING BECKETT
from:For anyone with a love for water gardening, Beckett, a company that invites you to “escape to your own backyard”, is a leader in water garden products as well as decorative garden items. With many years of experience in water gardening, Beckett has brought forth innovative designs and new products. It is the company’s policy to provide quality products at prices everyone can afford.
Pumps are essential to a water garden’s well being. They not only circulate the water, but also aerate it. The pumps keep fountains and other water features going. Beckett pumps are not oil filled. They provide years of continuous fresh water use. With direct drive, or wet rotor or wet bearing technology, Beckett pumps are energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
A good filter is important to water gardening. Beckett pond filters promote beneficial bacteria that help ponds establish a sound biological balance to help keep the pond healthy. If you are just a beginner at water gardening, Beckett pond kits are made for you. There is no easier way to test the water in your pond. All of the components are already mixed for you.
Beckett’s preformed liners are rugged and do not require an under layer. They have built in ledges and zones for aquatic plants. The liners come in EPDM rubber and PVC plastic. If Beckett does not have a preformed liner to fit your pond, you can have one cut to the exact size you require.
Everyone likes to include special features in their water gardening. Beckett has everything you need for high quality pond landscaping. There are natural looking watercourses, fountain nozzles and Beckett’s famous Pond Art. They are perfect for your water garden.
For a sense of elegance or a touch of romance, illuminate your water garden with Beckett’s Accent Lighting. There are a variety of colours to choose from to make your water garden glow.
A water garden is home not only to plants and aquatic animals like fish and turtles, but also to many tiny organisms that either enhance or endanger the garden’s health. Beckett Pond Plus products, when used as directed, help you to maintain a clear, clean pond.
Beckett offers a wide variety of fine accessories that will beautify your water garden. There are water lilies and plant baskets, pond plants and fountain art for decorating your pool. Beckett also has water courses, lighting and waterfalls. The pond gardener can also choose from a selection of attractive bird baths and garden benches.
