Water brings life to the garden

Composition of water, light and form - trends in the modern garden

Clear forms dominate in modern garden design, paired with spaciousness and restrained planting. The geometrically oriented style continues seamlessly in the design of water features. Thanks to the latest LED technology, light sources stylishly round off the appearance. The following trends for modern water features have become established:

  • Gabions with an integrated stainless steel lip as the starting point for a waterfall
  • Balls, cuboids and pyramids made of stainless steel, concrete or natural stone as a modern bubble stone
  • Concrete structures with mirrors or glass surfaces on which water trickles down

In the hip zen garden, you create a magical aura with a long, slender pond and gray-black concrete border when it is fed from a minimalist-linear wall fountain. White pebbles on the pond floor and indirect lighting perfect the mystical ambience.

Playful romance with water - ideas for the natural garden

The conceptual alternative to the spartan minimalism of modern garden design succeeds in the form of opulent water features for the romantic garden. Be inspired by these ideas for your country house and cottage garden:

  • Bubble stones made of untreated natural stone, fed from an underground water reservoir
  • Medieval gargoyles on a wall made of old bricks with a shabby look
  • Wooden tub or zinc watering can with pump converted into a water feature
  • Waterproof pot with pump and water fountain as a water feature for the patio

The classic water fountain in the middle of an ornamental pond, biotope or swimming pond has by no means become obsolete. Thanks to modern technology, you can easily install the atmospheric water feature yourself. The pump is positioned on the pond bottom, the telescopic tube is adjusted to the desired length and the appropriate fountain nozzle is attached - the picturesque water feature in the garden is complete.

tips

When a waterfall rushes into the garden pond, plants and fish benefit from the water feature. The moving water packs countless air bubbles that enrich the pond water with valuable oxygen. This is easy on the wallet at the same time, because you can usually do without additional pond aeration.
