How to decorate a garden in an oriental style - organizing a reservoir
This is one of the important details of the Persian garden. The body of water should be such that it seems natural. When arranging it, try to fit this object into the existing landscape. Having made a pond, come up with a stone path on its shore. Place a small oriental-style figurine nearby.
Even a small pond is enough. If you have a site with elevation changes, use this natural feature. Build a house on the highest point. Plant low-rise ground cover plants nearby that you can cut. Stone paths leading to the house can be made of rounded elements. To do this, you need to take forms of this type, for example, ordinary bowls and pour cement mortar here. When it's dry, place these round pieces on the prepared area with a distance. You will get a beautiful path. Place stone figurines here to complement the landscape. Add some bold accents by planting colorful flowers.
You can make a stone tile path that runs along the pond. It looks like a natural one. Plant a tree and a couple of bushes on the shore of the reservoir, the leaves of which turn crimson in autumn. A house or gazebo with an oriental-style roof will complement this landscape.
You can set up cement blocks of sufficient height in the pond to make such a path out of them.
But it will be necessary to connect them together. These blocks have metal loops, tie them together with a strong wire. Also plant some plants here and put up a small oriental-style structure.
You can set up several flower beds right in the reservoir. Such a pond is not very deep, so it will not be difficult to make towering ridges. Pour the drainage in the form of stones down and soil on top. But you need to fence such flower beds well using stone and concrete elements. The bridge is located on piles. A flooring is attached to them, on which it is convenient to walk.
When making a Persian garden, a fountain can be foreseen. The sound of the water will be soothing. In addition, it will make the air more humid, which is especially valuable in the heat.
Place an oriental-style gazebo near the pond. It may be just such a pagoda, which is being built quite simply.
