Book Description: The purpose of this book is to aid garden designers, their clients and contractors in their choice of water garden. By describing some of the commonly followed construction processes and explaining many of the practical design considerations, this book will help readers to avoid many problems and disappointments while their garden or landscape project is still in the design stage. The technical design of both formal and informal water gardens is described, and construction techniques that will be cost-effective yet durable are considered. The other fundamentals of water-level control and maintaining water clarity, both chemically and biologically, are also examined. Several case studies are included that show the design and construction process of individual water-garden projects, and explain the reasoning behind the designs, the negotiations involved and ultimate conclusions, together with schedules of works and budget costs.
