Decorative ponds in the country play the role of a place of relaxation for the whole family and visually ennoble the appearance of the site. A standard option is a man-made pond. A stream and a waterfall are complex structures. They require a lot of time, effort and additional costs for electricity and equipment. The fountain, like the creek, is a very complex structure. For him, you need to have a house of impressive size and strictly observe the geometric arrangement of paths and landings. It is quite difficult to harmoniously fit such structures into space. That is why, when planning ponds in the country, many of us prefer the pond.
The lake, located on the site, should enhance the attractiveness and relevance of
architectural structures, as well as fit them in size and style. To enhance the romantic mood, they use natural forms, irregular and regular contours. It is necessary to enter the pond into the general view of the site in such a way as to create the impression that it is real and was always located exactly at the place where it is located now. In the case when stones are used for the decoration of the reservoir, it is necessary to select their breed in accordance with the geological features of the area. In addition, they must have different sizes and shapes.
Placing ponds in the country, you should think about lighting the place where they are, and about their depth. Aquatic plants planted in the shade may never bloom. They also need lighting, like earth flowers and shrubs. Direct sunlight should not fall on the water for more than six hours a day, so it is wise to have a future lake. Choosing its depth, you do not need to think that a reservoir with a small volume is worse.
Deep construction is expensive and not suitable for all plants. Exceeding the level of their placement, it will be necessary to use special stands. Fish living in the water will not be visible at all. But a pond with a small volume has one important drawback. If its depth does not reach eighty centimeters, it will be necessary to drain the water during the winter period, as it will freeze to the bottom, thereby damaging the artificial structure.
It is worth placing special equipment in the country to maintain water quality at the proper level. Experts calculate the filtration system, taking into account the characteristics of the reservoir, and allow you to create the most suitable conditions for its inhabitants. Otherwise, the water will become contaminated after some time. In order to clean country ponds, there are many means.
The most relevant is the use of biological filters. They prevent the growth of algae, as a result of which the reservoirs in the country will not be cloudy. In addition, you can use special peat without chemical additives. It is designed to soften and brighten water, lowers acidity and prevents algae from growing. A more complex solution to the pollution problem is the use of an underwater vacuum cleaner, which is installed next to the pond. It cleans the bottom of various deposits and sediments.
Ponds in the country, photos of which are located above, were created in compliance with the basic rules, and therefore look attractive, harmoniously combine with the appearance of the site.
