Solution – How we restored this Bristol pond:
- Curved lawn edging sets the scene
- A blend of light aggregate brightens the pond area
- Mixed larger pebbles give structure
- Plenty of plants around the pond bring more colour and shape
- The stone waterfalls bring movement, sound and aeration with a natural effect
- The spring effect fall mound houses the filter and UV units with a valve to adjust the fall flow
- The waterfall surround mulched in dark wood chips contrasts to the pond surround in texture and colour
- Pond is clean and serviced
- Planting within the pond gives wildlife cover and provides a natural feel
- Fish cover is provided by recycled materials
Conclusion
- A re-designed and restored pond and water feature
- Surrounding landscaping that has a clean, modern and yet still natural feel
