Flowing soul garden

Water miraculously organizes the landscape, as its center. Ably inscribed in the space of a garden pond site will link together all the elements of landscape composition. Ornamental ponds are becoming an integral part of the plots. Ponds can transform the most commonplace corner of the garden, and shiny water and the sun is located next to decorate any object that will turn your suburban holdings in a cozy resting place surrounded by greenery and filled with coolness. Water Style There are two main visual style pond on the site: landscape, as close to nature and design, which embodies some concept (for example, a Japanese garden), or an appropriate general style manor. Landscape pond is better to make a free-form, on the banks of laying out his stones. Pebbles, sand and gravel in various combinations perfectly mimic natural. Very nice turn out, if put in small pebbles and bottom of the reservoir. The best and most simple frame reservoir are compositions of natural stones and plants, carefully matched to each other creating the illusion of natural beauty. If the depth of the pond more than half, at the bottom you can place water plants in containers filled with sand or gravel. Plants in this case are chosen mostly deciduous: perennial or shrub with drooping stems, tall ornamental grasses, as well as wild species, which in nature grow near water, such as creamy white or pink meadowsweet, aquilegia, daylilies. Close to the edge of the pond well planted Marigold and forget-me-marsh, Siberian iris, loosestrife. They are all well draw up the border the reservoir. Perfectly fit the man-made landscape planted on the edge of the fern. On the surface of the water lilies can be sent. To track looks beautiful, the plants should be diverse in their appearance. Designer water is usually made in accordance with your imagination and style. Pond or lake designed to enhance the overall impression of an architectural ensemble, therefore, they should approach the style and be proportionate to the site. Now extremely popular, for example, a Japanese-style gardens. And they look very attractive. The Japanese water in Japanese gardens is life and purification, as it recalls the murmur of the transience of time. Thrown over a pond or stream "Brokeback" bridge, as well as a path - a journey through life, moving from one world to another. For the Japanese garden choose a secluded area, hidden from the eyes of neighbors. It is a place of rest and meditation. It is desirable to separate the hedge, planting, for example, shiny cotoneaster or spiro acute. Pine tree standing alone or in combination with pine juniper - "favorite" plant a Japanese garden, symbolizing longevity. Typical enhancements are fences made of bamboo, cool water with bridges or transitions of individual natural stones. Water should be contrasted with the stone, contrasting its instability and the formlessness of rigid and monolithic stone structures. Unusual shape and texture of natural boulder can complement the beauty of peonies, irises, rhododendrons and chrysanthemums. Literally any object in the Japanese garden is symbolic. Thus, the curved bridge means rising and setting sun, flower tiles - clouds, pagoda - the temple, bamboo - firmness and patience, and pine - longevity, sakura - spiritual beauty. Reservoirs in Japanese gardens are usually irregular in shape. Embayed coast, randomly scattered river rocks, but also reflected in the water surface of coastal plants together to create the illusion of a natural reservoir. Ponds in the eastern garden always have the island, one of which is considered a "paradise" and not connected with the shore. Bridges, and bridges are made of natural materials. Stone or wood, they are not only a garden decoration, but also specific points. In this case, the bridge must be organically water becomes darker, and thus fit into the track, combining separate elements of the landscape. Another decorative element of a Japanese garden, which has direct relevance to the water - a thin water from the hollow stalks of bamboo Most of these soorrkeniya placed on the edge of the pond;!. Water in the Japanese garden is closed, are used here and our system of aqueducts. In Feng Shui water is the element corresponding to the money. And properly located waterways garden certainly will contribute to the prosperity and well-being at home. A little sun in cold water experts advise to have water on the south side of the house: on the sunny areas to organize ponds, and on shady - streams. One of the reasons - some aquatic plants (eg, nymphs) are light-requiring and bad bloom in the shade, so placing them, for example, under the trees, you risk never seen water lilies bloomed. Wise to place the pond in a well lit place, but so as to direct sunlight falling on the water no more than six hours a day. To protect the pond from the wind plant trees and shrubs. It is advisable to do it at some distance from the reservoir, or in summer higher plants will overshadow him, and in autumn - litter of fallen leaves. Reservoirs are usually fine round, rectangular, square or indefinite shape, although strict regulations here do not exist. "Civilized" pond often has a regular geometric shape and is located in the foreground area near the home Such a body of water involves framing a stone or pebble, colorful ornamental plants may flower beds or playgrounds for recreation near the water, etc. Romantically will look like a pond surrounded by going down to the water's weeping willows and willows, the coast is decorated with, for example, yellow and blue irises, reeds and loosestrife. Decorative qualities of the reservoir in the designed landscape can be greatly enhanced by special compositional techniques, for example, cleverly laid a system of alleys and lanes around it. Trace the tracks held at different distances from the shore, creating a variety of conditions the perception of the same scenery. The alleys are oriented either to the main compositional units on the shores of the reservoir, either gradual or sudden revelation of the water through the clearings and gaps in arrays of plantations. Movement is life quite a different picture represent various streams, waterfalls, cascades and fountains. Here in the design of the garden are endless possibilities for imagination - the use of stone sculptures and masks resulting from their water jets to cobble-lined grounds with flashing here and there the keys. Fountain has a great decorative effect due to the expressiveness of vertical jets into the background of horizontal lines of the relief and wavy forms of vegetation, as well as the attractiveness of moving and falling water. Therefore, he always plays the role of the object that attracts attention and formed around a specific landscape character. In accordance with the style of garden water fountain can seethe and foam that rise up and fall spray jets, dash down from the height or flow from the terrace to terrace. At the Fountain in the natural style of water flowing directly from the pebbles, millstone or stone. The fountain consists of three basic parts: pump, nozzles and water containers. The pump can be placed at the bottom of the reservoir or on its surface. Form a fountain jet nozzles - they now produce over a hundred variants. Some give a lot of beautiful streams, different in form, height and figure. Others, turning slowly, throwing intermittent stream. The result is a foaming water, or a multi rotating fountain in the shape of a flower. Some fountains are designed for installation on the surface, the other - under water, some of them have built-in halogen lamps, which give the pond an unusual form. Especially attractive are the fountains look at night time. With a rather narrow winding creek streambed can be decoration absolutely flat surface. If the terrain has a natural bias, the problem is much simpler, and decorative effect is enhanced. Romantic nature will impress mountain creek with a rocky bed, waterfalls and rifts. Planning a stream, one should bear in mind that it is comfortable "feel" in the shadows, perfectly fits in rock gardens and in other parts of the garden, combined with all types of reservoirs. In the regeneration stream, lake or pond, great importance is the correct selection of decorative materials - rocks, soil, gravel and vegetation. To stream on a steep hill looked more picturesque, it is possible to do several steps: they slow the movement of water, creating an impressive cascade. The water was pouring out of the principle "from the cup into the bowl," from the upper reservoir is gradually transformed into the bottom. Cascade reminds vodyagguyu stairs, where the water falls uniformly from stage to stage, and their width and height can be very different. Each "cup" is set to a unique fragment of the foundation, its size and the slopes should be calculated. The steepness of the slope should not exceed 35-40 °. As a result of varying size, shape and methods of laying the stones can be created by a variety of scenic cascades in landscape style. The most conservative (but not easiest) Water-type device dynamic is the source. It is characterized by chamber, miniaturization, it should be placed on the basis of perception at close range.
