You live in a Thai city / built up area, and you have a garden space which is not meeting it's potential. You are a bit lost with what to do with it.
Here at Pornchai we come across this frequently. In the example shown here, Pornchai advised the customer to build a natural jungle stream for keeping fish, including a whole host of new tropical plants. The layout of the pond / stream were discussed and decided on, and the team began the build.
Within a few days the stream had been dug out and the sides built and floor properly constructed. In this case, rocks and stone were laid into the side to help create the natural look the client was looking for.
At either end of the stream the team built larger pond areas, so more water plants, fish, and side planting could be included and add to the overall interest of the feature.
When finished with plants, trees and rocks, the stream looks completely tropical, and the garden is totally transformed.
(tropical garden stream above - yet to be filled with water in this picture) So the once bare, empty, urban Bangkok garden has become a lush, tropical, jungle stream, complete with mechanical filter, night lighting, automatic sprinkler system and x2 water pumps.
Across the wider pond areas, large, flat rocks have been positioned to act as natural stepping stones across the water, continuing the tropical theme, as well as offering easy and safe access around the garden.
And once the water is switched on, the feature jumps into life, with water pouring down the apex of the waterfall, flowing into the stream, helping to cool the surrounding air, creating an amazing sound, and making the whole garden one that can be enjoyed by the occupants of the home.
