If your water keeps freezing its because of the biome. You can change your res biome for 5k tokens, or a cheaper option would be to put torches or glowstone at all the water source blocks.
If the water keeps freezing then you should consider changing your residence biome. A biome is basically an area type you're in. If the area is cold then water can freeze and your grass looks plain. If it's warmer then ice melts, water stays water and your grass will look greener. The command you'd need is: /res changebiome. It'll cost you 5k tokens in an SMP, 10k tokens on Utopia. And here is an overview of all the biomes: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Biomes If you're just looking for a regular area then I'd recommend using either 'Plains', 'Forest' or maybe even 'Jungle' (gets you extra greenish grass).
