transcript: Hi Guys, this is Carl your landscape guy. Today I want to show you step by step how I built this 18 meter long stream. The view on this plan shows that the stream runs from the right, past the terraces enclosed by the stone garden and all the way to the left into the sump container. The integrated natural stone crossing allows easy access to the lawn area from the terrace. Of course, several dams are built into the stream, which is crucial for pleasant water splashing. The water is carried from the sump container by a pump back up to the beginning of the stream. The sump container is equipped with an overflow, so that excess rain water is drained into the next trench. A natural terrain gradient is present on this private property, so that a stream can be perfectly integrated into the environment. First, the rain barrel is installed, marking the lowest point of the stream. I chose a stable 800 liter rain barrel. Before putting it in the ground, I provide the container with an overflow, so that the excess water can be removed under controlled conditions. For this purpose, a suitable hole is cut into the side to fit the PVC pipe which is sealed from the inside with silicone. Now the container is installed into the soil with a layer of gravel underneath to make it stable. It is important that it is leveland at the correct height. In this case, a groundwater pipe is connected to the container, so later there is consistently enough clean water available for the stream. Before using ground or rain water for streams or ponds, the water should be tested for components because some substances can harm bodies of water and their inhabitants. The overflow is connected to a ditch and then everything is again filled with soil. Now the terrain can be roughly modeled with the excavator, and a lot of manual work is saved this way. One can now imagine where the water will run later. Now we continue at the upper end of the stream. From here we’ve begun to form the riverbed. Old paving stones are set in concrete to ensure that the water level has a stable bank and is kept straight. Then the stream can be cleanly molded in between that. Also in this area, a pipe is placed for the supply of ground water, so that it can be used later to either lead directly into the sump or to feed the stream. The riverbed is prepared to be naturally wider in some parts andnarrower in others. Don't forget to install cables now that you might need on the other side of the stream later. In the locations where dams are to be built, a small cross trench is first excavated. Then paving slabs are mounted edgewise. This can be set in concrete for better support, if needed. Down the slope of the terrace it's set up the same way at the water's edge. #waterstream #gardenideas #waterfeature
