CO-VID 19 Information
What exceptional times we are living in, with social distancing and self-isolation becoming common practice across the country and around the globe. And while these extraordinary measures are crucial to keeping our communities safe and healthy, the mental and emotional toll they are beginning to take cannot be forgotten. We hope that the inspiration found in nature and our friends and neighbors will bring you light and joy in the coming days and weeks ahead; while the immediate future may be uncertain, together we can and will get through this.
The office is closed until further notice. BUT We are ALWAYS available for phone or video consultations. Call Don at 419-669-4084 to schedule or chat.
PRE-ORDERED Fish & Supplies will be available when weather permits. We have been in contact with our suppliers and they assure us our orders are safe and will be ready to send when weather allows. All Customers that have Pre-ordered will be notified when pick up will begin. We are hoping for mid to late May - which is normal. We will call to schedule - with safe distancing for you and our team we will have a drive around pick up where we can load your items without you even having to leave the car. If you requested delivery - we will be doing that too - again, we will call to schedule.
Please stay safe and check on one another. We will get through this together.
Welcome to Inspired By Nature
Inspired By Nature, Inc. is a pond and lake management company dedicated to providing a natural alternative to excessive chemical applications with minimal maintenance. Inspired by Nature serves the needs of Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana pond and lake owners.
Natural Pond Management is not difficult nor is it more expensive than conventional chemical treatments. Most chemical treatments treat a symptom opposed to going directly to the root of the problem. At Inspired By Nature, we have discovered over many years that all ponds are similar yet unique as well. There are numerous variables that can contribute to many pond woes. What may have adverse effects on one pond may only cause a minimal effect on the neighbors pond only a few hundred feet away. Our ponds are much like us, very similar in design but affected differently by various stimulus.
Our philosophy on pond management really comes down to one thing - nutrients. The more nutrients you have available for plant and algae growth the more out of control your pond becomes. Aesthetically, we'd all like a nice pristine, algae free pond with clear water. (You need to recall you are dealing with a NATURAL ecosystem that ebbs and flows with its surroundings, reacts to weather, addition of chemicals and being out of balance.) You can achieve a balanced pond that is quite stunning and desirable using our philosophies.
Chemicals may get rid of nuisance plants from your line of sight but what happens to that dead debris? It simply goes to the bottom and rots up to become new nutrients for more plants and algae - exactly what you don't want to see in your pond. All that muck at the bottom of your pond is comprised of dead and decaying debris. Without the use of proper bottom aeration, a good blend of microbes and debris removal, that muck sits and adds layer after layer that accumulates and eventually fills in your pond. Not to mention the nutrients that are released in the water that can become more food for plant material - however, if you redirect those nutrients up the animal side of the food chain you'll decrease the available nutrients for plants and algae.
Natural Pond Management is what we do every day and we pride ourselves on helping thousands of customers over the years. Many of our customers have been with us since we began and we do our best to keep them happy and continue to research and develop products that are natural, safe and affordable.

Nutrients are key in natural pond management. Our management techniques identify nutrient problems, develop means of reducing nutrient input, and provide long term control of residual nutrients. In doing so, we are taking the excessive nutrients responsible for nuisance plant growth and converting them into more manageable plant and animal growth. Using an array of tools such as Beneficial Microbes and Bottom Aeration, Inspired By Nature, Inc. provides safe, low maintenance, and affordable solutions for your pond or lake.
