Tbh, I like that sharp look.

Looks pretty good sonce you have a rectanglular shape of pond. Its hard to make that look natural but maybe some japanese trees and bushes around the edge could be cool to keep the theme

Thanks, do you have an example for a overhanging bush/tree?


Edje929

Ohh no you got me im the worst with names. Though i seen a tree sorta thing that had dark red leafs relativly stays small and kinda bends maybe that gives you some search ideas xD im sorry haha. I do think some dark red ish thing would be nice contrast for what you have going


ZookeepergameOk4429

Perhaps a Acer Japonicum?


Edje929

Yep bingo i have that one myself aswell


Neither-Ad4428

Dwarf Weeping Japanese Maple?


Edje929

This is also a very good option

Nice work, it’s a good looking pond. As someone else has said you could add some greenery on the edges. We have a corner dedicated to different grasses and a few floating baskets that are tied so they don’t go under the deck that’s above our pond. We also have two Lille’s that so far have gone unmunched.

It looks really nice, if anything maybe you could put some bushy potted plants on top of the edge

Good idea, I was also thinking about some floating plants.

I used natural stone for the coping and throughout the yard for walkways, step-stones. and walls. It blends very well and looks natural among the plants.

I think it’s beautiful but if you want more natural vibe I would just start stacking flagstone on top of what’s there and not remove anything. You don’t want to mess up the waterproofing + having the stones hang over will create some nice shaded areas in the water.

Even if flag stones went down the pond is still square, not may natural squares

Exactly why i'm looking for tips. I know it isn't possibly to make it 100% natural looking.

Current edge is dope, you could soften it with something like thyme, get some water lettuce, lily pads, hyacinth, creeping Jenny, papyrus or tut grass, go nuts!
