Having your own pond with a fountain or a small waterfall is fashionable today and the dream of every owner of a manor or summer house. Arrangement of a small reservoir on the site, it’s not that very difficult, but not simple. First of all, an engineering solution is needed.
A foundation is being prepared for any reservoir, that is, you need a foundation pit with a reinforced bottom and walls. Marking is made where the place is marked future reservoir with pegs. Depending on your design decision, the form can be anything. When digging a pit, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances. For example, a stream needs a slope so that there is no stagnation of water. If planting is planned, then they also need to prepare niches in advance.
You can, of course, do it easier, by acquiring a rigid form already made of rubber or PVC. But there are two drawbacks, firstly, it’s expenses, and secondly, your body of water will be of such shape and size as you have acquired.
There is, of course, a budgetary method, for example, without concreting, cover the pit walls with plastic bags filled with sand, and lay the bottom with a waterproofing strong film. You just need to carefully insert a hole in the film for draining with a cork (as in a bath) and install a plastic pipe.
But if the finished rigid form is not suitable for you, and you decide to equip the pond with your own hands, then concrete work is indispensable. In addition, you still have to spend money on waterproofing so that concrete does not quickly collapse. It is recommended to buy special rubber, which is designed for a long service life, although it is not cheap. And buy with a margin of not less than half a meter. The edges should go outside, then they can be masked with small boulders, stones, plants in pots.
Do not forget that the reservoir should be cleaned every year. At first the water will be a little muddy. But do not be upset when snails, water striders and other inhabitants start up, the water will become clear. Do not poison them with bleach, of course in this case the water will be relatively clean, but dead. If you will plant some plants around the reservoir, do not forget to look after them and remove dead stems in time.
Pay attention to the choice of a water pump, it is better to consult a specialist on this issue, who will tell you what power is needed to ensure a normal flow of water. Well, the garden interior, paths - it's all a fantasy for yourself, or hire a landscape designer.
