Ideas for Water Garden Design<\/h2>\n

Whether you are looking to add a splash of colour to\u00a0your Vancouver\u00a0<\/em>garden, attract wildlife, or find peace in the sounds of water, a water garden <\/em>can bring value to your yard. Water gardens <\/em>can be temporary container water features <\/em>or fully incorporated hardscapes but, regardless of size, water gardens often incorporate similar design ideas. Some tips for designing a water garden<\/em>\u00a0include:<\/p>\n

Keep the Water Moving<\/h3>\n

If a water garden<\/em> is going to involve a small pool or pond of any kind, it is a good idea to install a pump that will keep the water moving as a small stream or waterfall. This can help to keep the water clean as well as facilitate a beautiful sound and environment.<\/p>\n

Involve Aquatic Plants<\/h3>\n

The very term \u201cgarden\u201d implies plant life. Most water gardens<\/em> can benefit greatly from a few small complementary aquatic plants to bring out the beauty of the water and attract some wildlife. Whether it is water lilies, moss, or any other type of plant that thrives with an abundance of moisture, greenery can bring out the best in a water feature<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Light it Up<\/h3>\n

Adding landscape lighting to a water garden<\/em> will help to add value for any time of day or night. Sitting outside by a well-lit water feature<\/em> under a starry sky is a pleasure that cannot be oversold.<\/p>\n

Go Pondless<\/h3>\n

A pondless waterfall or stream can be a perfect water garden idea<\/em> for a yard with small children around. This water garden design<\/em> uses rocks to hide any standing water, creating a safe and attractive water feature<\/em>. A pump provides a continuous cascade of water from the hidden reservoir to the top of the waterfall or stream, meaning that the only visible water is constantly in motion.<\/p>\n
