Beautiful water features in landscape design a garden, a backyard of a country house! 50+ ideas for inspiration!

Among the most popular options for the water surface on the site, we note the following:

– Pond
In principle, this type of reservoir is a water area that does not have an inflow or outflow of water. Those. a pond is any artificially created area with stagnant water.

– Fountain
The beauty of the rushing water is more dramatic than the quiet beauty of a pond. Of course, on a suburban area it will not be possible to create something similar to the fountains of Peterhof, but it is quite possible to bring a certain revival into the rural landscape.

– Waterfall
The noise of the water falling down has a beneficial effect on the human psyche. Another feature is that you don’t even have to look at the waterfall, but just listen to it. Some people install waterfalls for this very purpose – wanting to drown out other sounds.
The most suitable surface for a waterfall is a slope. Well, the ideal option is if there is a flower garden nearby or a beautiful shrub grows.

– Spring
This reservoir is placed in a shady part of the garden or on a lawn. It does not have a water surface, because the pump is hidden underground. The second name for such an element of landscape decoration is a disappearing waterfall.

– Stream
Arranging such a flow, you should try to achieve maximum naturalness. Therefore, you should prepare a channel with many bends and various obstacles.
Usually the stream is combined with another body of water, from which it feeds on water. The speed of the water flow depends on the width and slope of the channel. If a fairly wide stream is equipped on the site, then a bridge can be thrown over it. This will add even more charm to the suburban area.

– Decorative bog
And this type of landscape decoration is located next to a pond or stream. The main rule is that the swamp should not be deep so that aquatic plants can grow in it.

– Mini pond
Owners of small suburban areas are recommended to arrange a miniature reservoir.
It is not difficult to make it – you should bury tanks in the ground close to each other. Plant aquatic plants and enjoy the resulting beauty. You can even arrange small fountains.

– Pool
Near this water surface, intended for swimming, umbrellas, sun loungers, and small tables are usually placed. The unusual decor of the walls of the pool and the original paintings on its bottom, laid out with the help of mosaics, will make the recreation area more attractive.
