North Augusta’s Greeneway Gets a New Mural!
This summer, North Augusta’s Greeneway
got a vibrant new look. The once bare concrete of the Center Street tunnel is
now a colorful display of the city’s brick ponds, thanks to CSRA artist Jason
Craig. The mural, highlighting the local flora and fauna, spans 2,700 square
feet, covering the tunnel's ceiling and sides. A team of about 10 volunteers
assisted in bringing this beautiful artwork to life, highlighting the plants
and animals that thrive in North Augusta’s Brick Ponds.
Have you visited the new mural-
let us know in the comments and we’d love to see any pics you have taken there!

How To Buy A Pond: 7 Pro Tips!
Thinking
about buying a home or piece of land with a pond? Having a water view is so relaxing and
picturesque. Brandi and I both have ponds and each is very different.
Brandi ‘s
pond is smaller pond mainly rain filled with some springs and is completely on
her and husband Ryan’s land, in other words not shared. They are in full
control of their pond. The pond my husband Scott and I live on is much larger, it
is spring fed with strong water source but we share it with 7 other homeowners.
Which means I have to consult and be in agreement with 6 fellow neighbors if
something is needed or a cost at our pond.
Today, we’re
sharing 7 important tips to consider when buying a home or land with a pond.
Let’s dive in!
Tip 1: Water
Quality
Check the
water quality. Ensure the pond is healthy and clean. This affects not only the
beauty but also the ecosystem. There are many resources to help you.
Tip 2:
Maintenance Costs
Understand
maintenance costs. Regular upkeep can include cleaning, weed control, and
possibly treating the water.
On our
larger pond, due to water flow being so strong we are limited in treatment
since it flows out so fast but there are things we have done in the past and
I’m sure in the future.
Tip 3: Do
Some Research
First check
out who’s responsible for the pond. If the pond is shared, check for any
maintenance agreements in place. Sometimes there are and sometimes not. Check
for legal restrictions. Some areas have regulations on pond use, changes or
development around the pond. Make sure you know the rules of that pond or in
general before you buy. Consult an attorney to research this if not easily
obtain and to understand the pros and cons.
Tip 4:
Professional Inspection
Have a
professional in pond management inspect the pond. They can assess its health
and offer valuable advice.
Tip 5: Pond
History
Obtain as
much history as possible about the pond. Ask if water levels fluctuate
significantly or stay consistent. Knowing the pond's history can help you
understand its long-term viability. This
might involve some sleuthing …. ask the neighbors or around the area.
Tip 6: Local
Wildlife
Consider the
wildlife. Ponds attract animals, which can be a joy, but also a challenge if
they’re not managed or understood. I’m going use the “S” word, yes there will
be some snakes. Research what animals you might encounter and be comfortable seeing
and dealing with. Personally, we love wildlife, Great Blue Heron, geese, hawks,
turtles but not so much the beavers even though they are hard workers.
Tip 7:
Safety Measures and Insurance
Plan for
safety. If you have kids or pets, make sure the area around the pond is safe.
Consider fencing or other safety measures. This is a personal decision.
Ponds are an
attractive nuisance. Everyone wants to come fishing, kayaking and enjoy your
pond sometimes without permission. This reason alone we maintain higher amount
of liability insurance policy just in case someone comes onto the pond and gets
hurt.
Owning a
home with a pond can be a dream come true and was for me, but it’s essential to
be informed and do your due diligence. If you have any questions or need
guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out we are happy to share resources and help you
purchase a home or land with a pond.
