Features: The water feature designs introduced in this book do not require high architectural skills—most you just need to dig a small pit to place a reservoir for small fountains. The book also introduces many simple kits for integrated water features and methods for installing these features in existing gardens. Some designs require the use of mortar, and the book assumes you are using pre-mixed mortar. Additionally, it covers how to safely install stones and precast elements. After completing the water feature, you may also want to expand or add other elements to the landscape. The book provides information on this, such as adding small bridges or stepping stones. As your experience grows and confidence increases, you can even undertake the construction of a small pebble fountain or set up a half-barrel with one or two fish, taking a step toward creating a true water garden.
