Even a plain garden becomes a paradise when it`s filled with the sounds and beauty of rushing water! From measuring the acreage to laying the cement to pumping the water, here`s how to go about building a high-quality, long-lasting water feature. Choose fixtures suitable for your available space and your climate; find a qualified professional to do the work; and follow a long-range plan for constructing in stages, so that even lavish features become affordable. Integrate the pond or waterfall into the existing landscape, and add plants, foliage, or cobbled bedding to make the water seem like a natural spring. Beautiful full-color photos show gardens both romantic and exotic, filled with ponds, cascades, fountains, and statuary.
