Water Features

Water is one of the most essential elements. Humans are drawn to spending time near water, whether it’s the roar of ocean waves along a coastal beach, the serene lapping of water on a lake shore as the sun is setting, or the rush of a fast-moving stream in a verdant forest.

Adding a water feature to your yard is a way to bring this basic element into your landscape. The soothing sounds of moving water drown out urban noises, helping to create a calming oasis where you can unwind after a long day.

A water feature can be as elaborate as a large pond or as simple as a tabletop fountain. It can be the main backyard water feature, a focal point that draws the eye through the landscape, or a background element. Even if you only have a deck or apartment balcony, you can still enjoy a small water feature. Explore what type of water feature is right for you and how to add one to your yard.

TYPES OF WATER FEATURES

There are many types and sizes of water features made from a range of materials. Here are the main types:

POOL

Integrating an Inground Pool into Your Landscape Design

A beautifully designed pool can be the highlight of your backyard, turning it into your own private oasis. Whether you want a spot to entertain guests, unwind, or take a refreshing dip, the perfect pool can enhance the overall look and feel of your outdoor space.

What better way to spend a sunny afternoon than reading a book by the pool or taking a refreshing dip? An inground pool can turn any backyard into a tropical oasis, and the cherry on top of your outdoor sanctuary is the landscaping that surrounds it.

HOT TUBS

Incorporating a hot tub into your outdoor landscaping transforms your backyard into a personal oasis, blending relaxation, entertainment, and beauty. With thoughtful landscaping, like adding privacy screens or lush plants, you can create a serene and secluded spa-like environment.

BIRD BATH FOUNTIONS

To attract birds to your garden, consider adding a birdbath fountain. This feature provides a source of drinking water and a place for birds to preen. Additionally, birdbath fountains serve as excellent focal points, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your garden. They are easy to install and maintain, and often more affordable than other types of water fountains.

SPOUTING FOUNTIONS

Spouting fountains shoot water into the air, adding a fun and lively touch to your garden. Adding one to your pond can make your outdoor space more beautiful and enjoyable. It's a simple way to bring some extra charm and make your garden feel more vibrant.
