Natural garden pond surround provides beautiful look
The enclosure of the garden pond results in harmonious and clear contours, which can nevertheless succeed very individually with appropriate skill and the use of different types of pebbles and stones. There are no limits to her artistic and natural sensibilities.
Decorative ponds should fit harmoniously into the overall structure of the landscape in order to preserve the naturalness of the property. Stones, boulders, ornamental pebbles and even granite slabs play a special role in this, which not only ensures the unique beauty of the plant, but can also be life-saving for some small animal species such as hedgehogs and squirrels. Incidentally, if you are slightly covered in water and have their color fully unfolded in the light of the sun, stones have an almost amazing decorative effect.

Sackware, which allows a particularly individual design freedom in the garden pond enclosure. Some examples shows our table:

The color is more in line with personal preferences and can be combined in different colors at the various pond and shore areas. With stones and boulders you can, especially larger areas, easily loosen up, if desired, to the design of artificial rock landscapes. Even with stones, the retailer holds a large supply ready, such as:
Tips
If the garden pond is enclosed with pebbles, it is best to use different grain sizes on slopes, so that the slope can not slip off the ground.
