Enhance Your Outdoor Space with a Beautiful Water Feature

Published on: May 1, 2015

Is your outdoor living space at your home the place you go to relax and unwind? Many people spend more time on their back patios during the warmer months than curled up on the couch. A great way to enhance your outdoor area is to add the beauty of a water feature, creating a cool, bubbling focus point for your yard.

Types of Water Features

There is something about the look and sound of water that creates a calming, natural appeal. Water features are an excellent way to incorporate that element into your yard, even if you live many miles from any body of water. From small, contained bubbling urns to large garden ponds with a waterfall, there are many ways to add the relaxing sound of moving water to your yard.

  • Ponds. There are plenty of small ponds that you can add, from koi to a reflection pool. Add water foliage to create a natural water garden oasis right in your backyard.
  • Waterfalls. Waterfalls can be used in conjunction with a pond or pool, or on their own. The sound and splash of a waterfall is one of the most popular water features for home outdoor decorating.
  • Fountains. You can add a water feature without changing your landscaping. Add a beautiful fountain, bubbling urn or potted water garden to get the benefit of moving water without taking up a large amount of yard space.

Having the sound and cool appeal of a water feature can improve the ambiance of your outdoor living area this summer. Talk to a local landscaper that offers water feature installation to discuss what option would work best in your landscaping design.
