A lure of the natural world is invited into our space with water. Water creates drama, soul, excitement, and mystery - it can tantalize our senses. Moving water adds vivacity and sparkle, it can be arched with jets, misted, sprayed, bubbled, babbling through rocks, even the simplest pond can hint at waters expressive qualities. The dramatic elements of lighting a water feature adds a new dimension altogether.
Reflective pools can add depth to the garden, bringing the sky down to earth and introducing a mood of contemplation. Aim for a depth of approximately 30 inches. The base must be dark to catch the best reflections. The influence of canals or pools is especially soothing in densely populated areas, where reflected light can relieve the oppression of surrounding walls and enclosing buildings, and can even help to brighten the interior of a house.
Ponds are ecosystems that host a relationship of organisms in the environment - birds, fish, frogs, plants and many microscopic organisms.
Smaller than ponds, water gardens can transform your surroundings into a miniture nature preserve. Providing water supply to native trees, plants and wildlife, they truly bring your landscape to life.
