Arrangement of a decorative reservoir on a private plot

Strange as it may seem, the reservoirs on the country plots of our fellow citizens were quite rare recently. The appearance of such a pond, the smell of water and the rainbow overflow its surface - all this allows you to escape from the burdens of being and relax. The only problem is that the device of a decorative reservoir for the majority of summer residents is a real secret. In this article, we will try to reveal the main points of the device of a compact pond.

If you do not delve into the jungle of professional construction with the use of concrete and heavy equipment, then it is easiest to make a reservoir of ready-made forms, which can be purchased in many specialized stores. In this case, the device of the decorative pond becomes available to everyone.

Note that it is best to buy a form in the design of which there is a special marsh zone. This will allow you to plant hygrophilous plants in the pond, which will make the pond even more beautiful. If such a product is not on sale, then you can buy special hanging baskets, which hang at the required depth. However, for the same purposes it is convenient to use containers from coconut nuts. With them from a decorative pond you can make a real water garden, which will have an indelible effect on all your guests.

The most difficult thing is to set the shape correctly. It is very important to choose the right place for a pond. It is necessary not only to locate it in the most successful place of the garden, in which it will successfully fit into the overall composition. Note that from the decorative pond to the trees there should be a decent distance, as their roots can destroy the shape.

Before you start, you need to accurately mark the perimeter of the pond, using pegs and twine for this. It should be noted that the perimeter needs to be thrown around 15-20 cm so that there is room for soil to be poured. The entire fertile layer is removed to later use it in the garden.

Digging a pit should be at 15 cm deeper than the height of the mold. The base is carefully trampled, and then large river sand is poured onto it. It is necessary to constantly monitor the process using the building level. Then the device of the decorative pond continues, setting the shape. It is filled with water by 1/3, after which it begins to fill the gap between it and the river sand excavated by excavation. To make it as tight as possible, the sand is slightly moistened with water.

Note that the soil near the mold will still settle, and therefore within a couple of days it is periodically watered and sand is poured. Only after this period can begin planting plants and decorating the coastal area.

By the way, in the gardens you can often see decorative ponds made of old barrels or baths. Of course, it is difficult to call this option optimal, but if you have at least some design ability, even such a decorative pond in the garden can become a real decoration of the infield.

Shores are best to decorate with beautiful boulders, snags and moisture-loving plants. Of course, all the decorative elements must be fully combined with each other.
