Add a Soothing Vibe to your Backyard with a Water Feature
Water features are a great way to add beauty and structure to your landscape – and there’s still time to install one this season! With several options to choose from, you can find a structural element to fit your style and lot size. Here are just a few ideas:
Flowing Fountains
Water flowing is a soothing way to add peace and tranquility to your landscape. Boulder fountains are popular now, or you can go the traditional route. Birds love them and they make a fantastic focal point in your yard or landscape.
Ponds – Big or Small – With or Without Fish!
Big or small, a pond is a great way to add a water feature. It can stand alone or serve as a gathering pool from an adjoining stream. Add a water lily, some koi and a small bench and you’ve got a pleasant spot to relax.
Retaining Walls
For an unexpected feature, incorporate a running stream into a retaining wall!
Fix for a Slope
A sloping yard can prove challenging for mowing and yard maintenance. Why not eliminate the hassle and install a water feature? The natural slope is ideal for one or more streams, gathering at the bottom with a pond or disappearing beneath the stones (to be recycled again at the top).
