The view from my porch chair is not what most want in their yard (lawn), but I do keep the beer at 30degrees out here, and the music is always too loud.
You can see my chair cushion at the bottom for perspective.
This pond is 18 years old and supports lots of critters inside and outside of it. Even deer drink there.
There are a couple dozen old fat Sarasa Comets, some tadpoles, newts, frogs, and some turtles.
I keep the ph around 7 and the water clean for my critters. The ord is good. Spring brings algae which is not harmful, but I get that under control with UV. Some run off rain water from my roof is diverted there, I never need to add water.
It is 40 inches straight down so coons and herons can't wade to catch my aquatic friends. It is about 4000 gallons, wish I had made it bigger.
Those flowers in front are auto watered by a solar pump on a timer with nutrient rich pond water as I am lazy. They seem to like turtle water.

A funny note is at the rear. I have a bug light with no cover that drops bugs in to feed the critters after dark. It is very popular.
Heat from the fire melted it back, but like me it is still working.

Beautiful. I don't have an area to do anything like that, but do people ever try and hire you to set up thinks like that at other homes?

Looks very nice. Prettiest Japanese garden I have ever seen was at the Irish National Stud.

The deal is critters crap in the pond. No critters, no problems.
I think a pond with no critters looks dead and uninteresting.
Outdoor is much easier than an aquarium, but the exact same needs are there as to water quality.
