An ornamental pond can transform any garden into a true paradise. The sound of water, the reflections of plants, and the possibility to admire aquatic life bring a note of serenity and beauty to the outdoor space.
Here are some tips that will help you create your own pond:
Depth: A minimum depth of 60 cm is recommended to protect aquatic life during winter.
Shape: The shape of the pond can be round, oval, irregular or imitate the natural contours of the garden.
Location: Choose a sunny spot, but sheltered from strong winds.
Excavating the Pit
Pond Bottom: The bottom of the pond must be flat and compacted.
Pond Insulation
Foil Installation: Place the foil in the pit and secure it with stones or bricks. Leave enough foil around the edges to hide it later.
Filling with Water
Gradual Filling: Fill the pond gradually to avoid damaging the foil.
Planting
Marginal Plants: Plant species that tolerate wet soil and can create a beautiful transition between the pond and the garden.
