Decorative ponds enhance the character of parks, golf courses and other recreational areas. These ponds have to be design to blend in with the surroundings which requires the use of products that meet the technical requirements for water storage and lake edge erosion control without detracting away from the aesthetic appeal provided by the water within a landscaped area.

Maccaferri offers a number of products for use in pond contruction that are cost effective in that they can be installed without the need for specialist equipment and whose performance has been well tried and tested in larger civil engineer projects.

Pond lining
Geosynthetic clay liners are ideally suited for lining ponds as they offer an easy to install solution with easy laying to match almost any pond profile. The cover material provides over the geosynthetic clay liner a natural base to the pond.

Shoreline protection
Maccaferri offers a range of erosion protection systems to form the edge of the pond from the use of loose rock with a geotextile separator or rock filled gabions where wave action is more aggressive and frequent to coir logs and turf reinforcement mats for a bioengineered solution in lower energy environments.
