Undoubtedly, the “mirror” of water is already very impressive in itself. So, reflecting the plants, the sky and the house itself, as well as playing sunny bunnies, it makes any garden much brighter and more interesting.
Remember that water can flow with a normal calm stream, and maybe “play” in your garden. It is the waterfalls flowing into the pond, gurgling streams or streams of the fountain, which are supplied through the water supply, they will certainly diversify and revive any reservoir, in addition, the quiet sound of murmuring water, as you may know, helps to relax.
Please note that the channel of the stream or cascade can be made of soft materials or concrete – the final choice will depend on the flow rate, as well as the height of the drop in water. Different combined solutions are also quite possible, for example, when the rift is lined with a film, well, and the cascade will be made of concrete or stone.
Note that at the bottom of the stream a plain pebbles will look very beautiful, but from the strips or spots of dark gray and white pebbles you can easily create a drawing, which will seem to imitate the game of shadows and light.
The walls of the pool or the shores of the reservoir can be trimmed with the most materials – from traditional wood and stone to the avant -garde stainless steel. Will certainly decorate your pond and various sculptures, which will look especially good against the background of water. So, sculptures can be part of as part of the fountain itself or lonely rise somewhere in the center of the pool, well, and the connoisseurs of the avant-garde will probably appreciate floating objects made of colored glass, which are so similar to outlandish flowers.
Perhaps it is worth saying that when choosing jewelry for the design of his reservoir, it is necessary to take into account the style of the garden itself, otherwise they will only spoil the overall impression. Keep in mind that more than one modern garden simply does not do without an original backlight. So, playing with light and directing it, thus, from different points, you can achieve amazing effects. These trends have not been bypassed and reservoirs. Note that today special underwater and floating lamps are produced today.
However, it is also worth saying that the technical equipment of any artificial reservoir is not limited to only lamps. But not on every garden pond you can form a full -fledged ecosystem – often it has to be maintained using special filters and chemicals. To fill the reservoir, water is necessary, which a well can serve in Tula using a water supply system.
When there is a cascade or fountain, then the pumps will also be required, which in most cases are mounted directly near the reservoir, somewhere in hidden thickets, but a technically easily accessible well. There, as a rule, filters are also placed, which periodically need to be cleaned. Remember that even if there is no fountain, the filters will still not be superfluous, especially in the miniature pool. That has a bright bottom (without them, algae will begin to multiply quickly there).
Keep in mind that on hot days water can bloom, then you have to fight the flowering process using special chemicals. Plum will also be necessary, since the pond must be periodically cleaned, well, and replace part of the water.
