Stream on the terrace

Terrace as an oasis of well-being

On the terrace, which is usually right next to the house and often used as an "extended living room" functions if you want to rest after work, stretch your legs and unwind permit. That is why it makes sense to design this part of the garden as a quiet oasis of wellbeing that allows relaxation and even promotes it with the right design elements. This also includes water, for example in the form of small water features or even one Stream calmed on near the terrace with its quiet splashing.

Ideas for terrace design with a stream

The course of the stream on the terrace can be implemented in a variety of ways. A very nice idea is one that runs around the terrace, for example brick creekwhose banks have been lushly planted with flowering perennials and shrubs. Not only do you bring a piece of nature close to the house in this way, the planting also creates a certain level of privacy - at least if the plants are tall enough. This is also advantageous for the water flow of the brook, because it should not be in full sun anyway - less of the precious water evaporates in the shade. as

source an appropriately processed boulder can be used well or a pretty water feature that gently gurgles the water into the stream. An indispensable end point is a Reservoir or a small pond, and a pump for the constant water cycle, you must not forget.

You should keep this in mind when planning the course of the stream

And this is where it becomes critical when planning a romantic stream right on the terrace: such a pump naturally makes noises, and the more it does, the higher its output. So think twice about whether you can live with the constant humming or whether this noise is likely to get on your nerves soon. For the same reason, only a small brook, but not a rushing brook, should run around the terrace - the more water flows, the more it ripples.
