Container water features are by far the easiest to build and maintain.
The most common type of water garden is a sunken pond. A sunken pond can be created by using a pond liner that is preformed or a pond liner sheeting material.

If your water garden is large enough, a spraying water feature can easily be added with the use of a submersible water pump. Koi and plants can also be added to the sunken ponds.
Once you have decided upon the type of water garden that is perfect for you, the possibilities are almost endless. With proper maintenance and care, your water garden should last for many summers to come.
