Some original ideas for building a garden pond

Just like interior decoration, a garden pond brings a touch of elegance and calm to your exterior. Find out here how to shape it to give it charm while ensuring that it remains ergonomic.

The location of the basin: an important decision

The first step is to plan the location of your pool. To do this, you must take into account the orientation of the sun (a pond needs a lot of sun), the water supply but also enough space to support the expected flora and fauna. Do not think bigger than your belly and imagine a relaxing and adapted space. Make markings on the ground to visualize the result.

The materials needed for the decoration

Once the measurements have been defined, now think about the materials to be used for the decoration of the outdoor pool. Depending on your taste, you will generally need stones for aquatic decoration, concrete and pebbles. Add a small bridge if the space is suitable for more energizing in that space. A little sand makes it possible to create a small, simple but very pleasant beach on the edges of the basin. Don't forget the aquatic plants inside the pond and the perennials outside. If space permits, opt for a pool with an original shape with why not a waterfall at the bottom as a decorative aquatic pool.

Useful and recommended accessories

A pump to filter the water to avoid possible contamination of your aquatic basin. It will filter the water every 2 hours on average to prevent the proliferation of bacteria or algae. A jet of water in the middle of this space also makes it possible to regulate the temperature, especially in summer, by creating movements in the water. Thus, the space will be better hydrated and the plants will oxygenate better.
