Water in the garden with their own hands

Water in motion (streams and waterfalls) and fixed smooth pond are indispensable elements and Chinese, and Japanese garden. How to make a reservoir in the garden with a real decoration?
The fact that you can make the island in the reservoir in the garden, I did not assume. I saw it for the first time in the pictures of the girlfriend and caught fire with the desire to build. But I can not understand how you can land the tree among the water or make a green lawn?
To create the island, you first need to remove the soil, as well as when the device is conventional reservoir. But in the estimated location of the island, it needs to take out less or even. Do not remove it at all. The edges of the island can be strengthened by stones. Concrete solution can be used to secure them.
If the reservoir is small, then the island in it should be tiny. Large ponds can have an island located closer to one side of the coast, which will make it easy to connect it with a land bridge.
A successful example of creating a large reservoir with a charming island is in the suburbs. The artificial pond from butyl rubber rubber occupies most of the garden, the area of \u200b\u200bthe aqueous mirror is about 250 square meters. It is made on a plot of about 15 acres, located in the middle of a dense birch forest with a spacious one-story wooden house for permanent residence. The pond is large enough to arrange an island that can be accessed by passing through a pretty bridge.
The shores of the pond and the bottom in its shallow part were covered with flat pebbles of white and different shades of gray. From the same pebbles are made from the roadside of the house. With it, it is perfectly combined with a power of gray and gray-pink paving stones and cladding of the house of the tumor.

The diagonal of the site relative to the house is the bath, built from the same materials and in the same style as the house. Near the baths are built by the walkways so that it was possible to plunge into the water after the steam room, in this place the pond is deep enough (1.6 m). Thanks to the pump, the water here never freezes, although on the opposite side of the reservoir in the winter ice skating.
Near the Mostkov put the Kutin of Swamp Iris. Around the pond you can move freely.
The calm peace of the garden create a few plants with foliage of interesting form and texture - except Bereza, these are deciduous shrubs (spirits, barbaris), coniferous, decorative and leisure perennials (hosts, ferns). Under the carriages, two pumps are installed, forcing the water quietly move, traps collecting falling foliage are located nearby. About once every two years, the water is descended, the bottom and stones are cleaned from the sludge and ax.
To the island you can spend a bridge of stones - solid or step-by-step. In the place where, through the pond, it is supposed to be made of a walkway from stones, its depth should not exceed 30 cm. It is not straight, but smoothly winding. The stones were laid large and flat, about 10-15 cm thick so that the track was comfortable.
The plane of the stones above the water plane is at least 10 cm. Put them on the stands (foundation) from concrete blocks or bricks (for each stone its stand, which is ideally visible under the stone, everything should look very natural). Each stone is fixed to the "individual" foundation by concrete solution.
This garden is beautiful! The owners love him very much, he is suitable for this particular family. Such a project is good for those who like to sit quietly, enjoying the impressions of the garden or some of his details.
