The creation of a pond, as a rule, begins with a discussion with the customer about the location. First, it must be very accurately tied to the surrounding space, and this includes the shape, depth, and all the elements of the landscape that will surround the future pond. Access to the site, soil removal, fertile layer - all these elements must initially be used correctly. The main principle of our studio is that the pond should decorate the garden space and be easy to maintain. Of all the types of waterproofing, we prefer film, although there are other types of waterproofing, it all depends on the technical task. But in terms of price / quality, film still wins.
The pond configuration, depth, selection of plants in the pond - all these are elements of a single whole, which allows you to create the desired biobalance, choose the right equipment for ponds, skimmers, pumps, filters. All this allows you to admire the clean water surface in the future.
Despite the numerous nuances of the technical side of the matter, if you carefully look at the example of our ponds, you can see how carefully we decorate the ponds. Laying each stone thoughtfully, we tie it to the garden space. The first year, as a rule, they bloom, but as the nutrients in the water are depleted, the water becomes transparent-yellowish. Some citizens think that the water should be blue - do not confuse swimming pools and ponds - they have different water purification systems. We are talking about wildlife on the site.
So, step by step: we make markings, look from different points, from the porch, from the windows, the second floor, it is best to put a garden hose. If the pond is large, we use equipment. The correct configuration of the pond in the country is important, because at this stage the first mistakes are made.
Laying waterproofing, preparing places for planting plants, because if we do not plant aquatic plants in the pond, the water will simply rot. In hot weather, the water warms up in the upper layers. To remove the temperature wedge - a small stream and water movement are needed. If it flows over the stones, it is enriched with oxygen. If we plan to have fish in the pond, then all the more reason to think about it. Depending on the hardness of the water, thread-like algae may form in the water. To control these troubles, you need to add some preparations to the water that restrain these processes.
