Here’s a selection of pond trends, taken from our Pinterest/pond page, that we like and that you can use as models for the design of your pond area.
A contemporary Japanese-style pond, easy to make from 4 railway sleepers and a tarpaulin: DIY is the way to go!
A relaxing pool: a contemporary pool with rectilinear shapes, the abundance of grasses in the background breaks up the somewhat hard lines of the pool and creates a link between the water and the garden.
A romantic pool edged with a ball of nana pittosporums. The bench under the kiosk, where a climbing rose in bloom overhangs, invites you to rest.(c) bill buck
A very successful minimalist pool, framed by paving stones that follow the shape of its contours, with a few plants escaping from the gaps in the joints to break the overpowering symmetry.
A Zen Basin: practical and maintenance-free, just a few plants with the look of grasses or irises are all you need. Contrasting materials and colors is a trend in 2014, but be careful not to exceed 3, as this can quickly become distasteful.
A natural pond: psmall pond completely filled with pebbles for a very natural result nestled in greenery. (c) Karl Gercens
A traditional concrete and stone pond from the late 20th century, attractively planted with aquatic plants.
At last,a new American trend: waterfalls with no visible pool…so you can enjoy the sound of the water alone.
