Folk wisdom says: a person will never get tired of looking at 3 things: how the fire burns, how the water flows, and how the salary is paid. Well, seriously speaking, flowing water actually creates a smooth background noise, which has a beneficial effect on our psyche, and contemplation of the water surface charges us with positive energy. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to create a decorative pond on your site, you should definitely take advantage of it.
“Before you start creating a decorative pond in your local area, you should decide for what purpose you are creating it - decorative functions, a fish pond or a pond for family swimming. By the way, ponds as a decoration of landscape design can also be divided into several types: a small decorative pond, a fountain and a large-scale decorative pond, which involves an extensive system of streams,” said Igor Ascheulov, art director of the OMI studio.

Having decided on the type and size of the decorative pond, it is necessary to determine its location. As Igor Ashcheulov said, most often the reservoir on the site is a shallow container, so the water warms up greatly in the summer and becomes destructive for the created ecosystem. Therefore, it is important to locate the reservoir in such a place that the sun's rays reach it only in the morning and evening, when the sun is not so active.
“The decorative pond looks very impressive next to the alpine slide. Most often, customers settle on this particular solution, which allows them to use slide stones to create a mini-waterfall or streams. In this case, it is necessary to create a closed-cycle system by pumping water,” noted the art director of the OMI studio.
On the Internet you can find a lot of tips on how to make a decorative pond with your own hands. But more often than not, in the course of work, many questions arise that the World Wide Web does not provide answers to, because experts are in no hurry to share their secrets. And the process itself is very labor-intensive and time-consuming. In addition, it is not always possible to independently determine the combination of plants, their compatibility with each other, questions arise when caring for them, and so on. As a result, an initially beautiful body of water turns into a rotting swamp.
