Creation of artificial stream on the seasonal dacha — very effective reception of landscaping. Such stream gives dynamics, and the peaceful current and murmur of water calms.
Features of creation of artificial stream
The artificial stream can be created also on the site with bias, and on equal. Besides, it has to from where to originate and somewhere to fall. As source use, for example, artificial pond. Or the stream can begin the way from under big boulder or unusual snag.
For creation of stream it is required to you: - pump;
- polypropylene pipe; - polyethylene film; - nonwoven fabric; - stones of different fraction.
Mark the place on the site where there will pass the stream. Remove all stones and roots. Dig out trench desirable width and about 20 cm in depth. The trench has to be straight line, all bends can be executed at further dressing of stream.
If the site equal, then it is necessary to make bias that water could flow down on the course naturally. It can achieve, increasing stream depth gradually.
Make pillow of sand at least 5 cm thick. Carefully stamp it. Cover with nonwoven fabric, and then polyethylene film. Near stream drive pipe from polypropylene on which water will be pumped. These pipes are not afraid of frost, and water for the winter can be not drained. To the deepest place of reservoir (provided that the stream flows or follows from it) install the pump. The pump can be installed also at the beginning of stream.
Dressing of artificial stream
Lay stones on bottom and the coastline. Smooth cobble-stones and pebble best of all will be suitable for this purpose. Differences can be arranged by means of big flat stones. At source put big impressive stone or interesting snag.
The interesting idea — to put old clay jug, will be made in this case impression that the stream follows from under it.
The stream has to fit into country landscape organically. Plant coastal plants, cereals, compact coniferous and deciduous bushes on its coast. It can be the juniper, barberry, kizilnik, willow and many others. Hosts and astilba, fern strausovo feather and buckler fern men's will beautifully add landscape. Perennial plants land on coast of stream groups that it looked most naturally. On stony coast very beautifully look and perfectly feel periwinkle and verbeynik monetchaty. Not to do also without flowers. At water irises, gagea, Florinda's primrose, poecilophyllous grades brunner well grow.
