In this article we will teach you how to make yourself a lake, which skill to apply in making a lake cascade in the garden. Choose yourself how many lakes there will be and at what height they will be. We recommend that you plan a few number of lakes, but with a different diameter, in order to look more interesting. As for the height, that depends on the place you have planned. If there is a natural height, use it in the design; if not, nothing prevents that all the lakes are on the same level.
What you need to make a lake
You need some kind of background that would determine the size of the lake, for example a big tire from a tractor or a truck, or another framework, such as an old cupboard. You also need polyethylene and something to serve as a beautiful ending, for example tiles from Ivaylovgrad (TN: a stone or earthen tile is known as “tikla”) or other decorative stones.
Implementation of a lake cascade in the garden
- Digging a hole about the size of the tire or other form which you will use. Its height should be about 10 cm lower than the height of the tire. The idea is that the tire is one level higher than the hole.
- The bottom is sanded and beated well and the form is placed, as its upper edge must stay above the ground. If possible we can recommend you to cut the tire, so as only the sides remain, so that the lake will be with a greater surface.
- The space that will be your future lake and a part of the lake cascade in the garden is already differentiated. Next is covering it with polyethylene, thick and strong enough, which fits well on the bottom. Its outer part is dug into the ground for more strength.
