7. Planting on steep areas
Steeper sections are planted using
marginal plant holders. Use large rocks
to first weight the plant holders so that
you can insert the plants.
8. Pond technology
Carefully read the instructions for
installing the OASE pond technology
(pumps, filters, lights) and follow
these instructions precisely.
9. Gravel and water
After the gravel, at last it is time to put
water in the pond: First fill the pond half-
way full; completely fill the pond only
after the liner has settled in place.
Deep water zone
This is where the filter and watercourse pumps
or possibly pond drains are placed.
Marsh zone
Offers space for plants and micro organisms and
makes an important contribution to nutrient
reduction in the pond. It is approx. 30 – 40 cm
deep and should be laid out as wide as possible.
Moist zone
Ideal for lush embankment plants.
Watercourses (optional)
When selecting the location for the watercourse,
pay attention to damming stages, damming
depths, as well as the overflows that are as large
as possible so that additional movement and
oxygen comes into the pond.
10. Edge area décor
The final step is to fill the edge area
with rock (pebbles or similar) and
landscape it as you desire.
11. Lighting
For atmospheric ambiance in the evening
hours we recommend considering the
appropriate lighting from the outset.
That’s it!
The result deserves to be seen: Living
water landscapes with pond construction
materials from OASE.
Recommendation
The movement of water through water-
courses and waterfalls supplies the pond
with necessary oxygen.
The topsoil you removed for the garden
pond can be used to create a watercourse
or waterfall.
Slopes for a watercourse should not
be steeper than 40%.
