Just look at the interesting way the stones for the floor have been arranged in this example. The floor is actually more reminiscent of a wall, but is extremely effective. To break up the orderly arrangement, lush plants were planted around it.
You can also highlight the pool with the help of stone. Especially if the pool is at the foot of a slope, you can use this for a stone design. Distribute different stones on the slope to make it look more natural.

The reason for this is that this is usually the case in the great outdoors and that is exactly what most garden owners strive for - to create a natural-looking pond. The example is not exactly a pond. The elongated shape, as well as the small waterfalls and the gravel in the water, are more reminiscent of a river or stream.
