Garden and backyard Ideas: landscape design with water features! 50 ideas for inspiration!

Water is the source of life on earth and a natural resource that enriches the landscape. It is beautiful in itself and is able to attract attention in any manifestation, be it a lake, a stream or an artificial decorative pond. Not surprisingly, in landscape design, water is a key shaping factor. After all, nothing gives a corner of nature as much light and life as water.
The design of the site in any style of gardening art is not complete without the use of the water element in one of its manifestations. The reason for this is the amazing ability of water to attract and fascinate. Her mobility, the play of light and shadows cannot be compared with anything.
There is no such person who would not like to watch the sea surf, cascades hastily descending over the stones or the still surface of the lake. Any manifestations of this amazing element give a person a special peace, relaxation and a sense of harmony with the outside world.
Fountain jets playing in the sun, a winding ribbon of a stream or a sparkling calm expanse of a lake can enliven the landscape and introduce an element of dynamics. Water in any of its manifestations can enhance the aesthetic impact of the appearance. All water bodies can be conditionally divided into two groups:
– Dynamic – water in which is in an active state (rivers and streams, cascades and fountains).
– Static – calm objects (wells, artificial ponds, decorative swamps).
For those who like to observe falling water streams that overcome ledges and rapids on their way, it is better to use water sources belonging to the first group to design areas. When planning to create a cozy corner in which the silence is broken only by leaves falling on a mirror surface, when arranging the territory, the choice should be stopped at calmer static water sources.
Even in a suburban area with a small area, you can organize a spectacular and picturesque water arrangement. It can be a “sea” coast strewn with pebbles or a picturesque pond with carps, decorated with exotic plants, or maybe it will be a fabulous stream framed by moss-covered stones … The choice is limited only by the master’s imagination.
