The planning of a water garden or the extension of a water garden is an important stage that will affect how your water garden ‘grows’ and ‘lives’ over the next several years. The over all design of your water garden is important in considering how you water flows in and out of the garden. If you have this feature, how your water will be cleaned, if need be, and where you are going to be able to plant flowers, and use other types of detailing in the water garden such as sun catchers, statues, water fountains and such.
The water garden is to be an eye-catching part of your gardens. If you are designing a garden as a center of various other gardens, including colors or similar type textured flowers in the water garden as in your other gardens, it will be a success. The water garden is about graceful water movements; the stillness or the sounds of the water are an added bonus.
Formal water gardens will use materials that make the water garden finely detailed, such as thick straight lines and defined paths around the water garden. The stonework and the detailing of the water garden should match through out the formal water garden. If you start your water garden using red stones, these same red stones should be used in the path of the formal water gardens.
