A bounty of ferns raises their fronds just above the pond’s margins, camouflaging a fair portion of the smooth edge. Its smooth edge allows spectators to sit by the water and observe its inhabitants. Like a pool pulled straight out of a tropical wonderland, this raised pond looks like a jungle oasis. Larger species will struggle to thrive in such a small and shallow space.
This type of structure is best for rearing small fish or amphibians. The white blooms must certainly be veritable highlights each summer. A singular Lily species ensures that its features are appreciated. Rather, they provide a wonderful textural contrast.
The sparse edge plants don’t block out the bowl’s edges. Here, the metal bowl is the star of the show. This raised structure looks statelier and more tasteful when designed minimally.
As a plus, these usually come with bottom drainage as well, allowing for straightforward water changes and quick maintenance.ĥ) Ramon FVelasquez, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsĪ bowl pond is a fantastic addition to a small, country-style garden.

As they blend into the landscape, they don’t distract from the pond itself. The neutral colors of the set stones bring out the vivid green hues of just a handful of marginal plants. This style is quite playful and can make a brief trip around the pond feel like a light hike. Pondside pathways can be made to look rugged and organic as well. This one will surely cause visitors to stop and appreciate the contrast between still water and the highly textural elements in the area. The small pond is a break from an otherwise fully planted path border. This pathway borders one side of the pond, determining the edge from which it must constantly be viewed. Without taking up too much space, a narrow brick pathway allows one to maneuver through a small garden. Note how the material used to create the path complements, instead of distracts from, the natural features around it. It is a major element of the landscape design because it creates structure and complexity. This stunning pathway serves a dual purpose: it perfectly frames the small pond and allows spectators to come close to the edge. It would also allow them to easily make their way toward the pond. It can make visitors refocus their attention as they would be more likely to gaze at wherever the path leads. CC BY-SA 2.0Ī minimally designed pathway can definitely make a small pond stand out.
