Key Elements for an Effective Garden Reflecting Pool

Regardless of the style, certain key elements are crucial for maximizing the effectiveness and beauty of your reflecting pool:

• Stillness: The most critical factor for a good reflection is a perfectly still water surface. This means avoiding features like fountains or waterfalls that disturb the water. We design our reflecting pools to minimize ripples, often with slightly deeper outer edges to suppress wave formation.
