Masonry streams look natural
Wall of natural stone wall - That's how it works
A stream in your own garden can be easily installed with the help of pond liner or prepared brook bowls. On the other hand, if you have a certain picture in mind, you can fulfill your dream with bricked up natural stones. These look very natural due to their appearance. To keep the natural stone stream running, you should wall it. Our guide will explain you, paying particular attention to it.
Dig out and concretise the stream
Before you start building your stream, you first need to plan carefully, including a sketch, and calculate the tools and materials you need. Even the budget is not insignificant, after all, the materials required for a masonry stream are quite expensive. This is especially true for natural stones, for which you need a lot, depending on the length and width of the planned Bachleins. However, the costs can be reduced if you use collected stones or artificial stones (concrete, for example). Is the planning, is built as follows:
Seal the creek
Here, however, the work is far from over, because concrete is not inherently waterproof and must therefore be sealed. There are various possibilities for this, but you should refrain from laying pond liner or applying liquid pond liner for optical reasons. Instead, apply clear sealing materials such as epoxy or mix the cement with sealant powder. Then attach the reservoir and pump and lay the water hose. An atmospheric planting along the stream bank completes the picture.
Tips
If you choose a reservoir instead of a pond, you should let it into the ground and provide it with an overflow. Overflowing water can be directed out of the pool into another ditch or other part of the garden.
