classical water garden

A classical water garden looks very beautiful and mature. Its design style is based on Greek and Roman palace gardens. The classical water garden can be seen in the homes of Lords in England . Gardens with symmetrical spaces on either side of central walks, formal ponds and wall mask fountains are all based on the idea of classical water gardens.

Design components of the classical water garden

The pond in a classical water garden is positioned right on the centre line and all other things are mirror-imaged and symmetrical to the pond. The design components such as urns, containers and statutes all originate from ancient Greece and Rome .

Is this style suitable for my water garden?

The main view point in a classical water garden is the pond and you look at its centre line. The perfect position for this water garden pattern is one that slopes gently up or down from the back of the house. The idea is to force you to focus on the pond when you enter the garden.
