In gardens, both larger and microscopic, ponds appear more and more often.On large plots you can plan larger ponds with an irregular shoreline.In small gardens with terraced houses, there is not always enough space for all water devices, which does not mean that we have to give up the water tank in our garden.
A good solution is a water reservoir with edges delineated by straight lines, perfectly harmonizing with the geometric shapes of the house. The rectangular, rigid form of the pond will be softened by plants growing on its banks.The pond located right next to the terrace not only takes up less space, but also becomes the focal point of the garden.Sitting on the terrace, we can observe the life in the water and above its surface without any problems, at any time of the day.The garden seems bigger when the water mirror is reflected by plants, the sky and flowing on it clouds.
These plants are best planted around the pond …
In order for the pond away from the terrace to look attractive, it is worth planning a wooden footbridge or a small rest corner near the water surface or on the shore when setting it up. More than lazing by the water, a walk over a bridge over a pond or a path made of stone slabs placed directly on the water can provide more impressions.In this case, pay attention to the appropriate proportions: additional devices should occupy no more than a quarter of the water surface.
In the case of a small pond, the easiest solution will be to install a stone spring or a small water fountain.Modern installations with water in a closed circuit, set in motion by a small pump, are becoming more and more popular. Their incorporation is quite easy and does not require any professional skills.Manufacturers of this type of equipment often add special spotlights to the set, which illuminate the streams of water gushing or flowing down after dark.
