  1. How to Choose the Right Water Feature for Your Landscape

  2. You don’t always have to go out on vacations to enjoy a relaxing scenery. You can bring nature right at your home by redesigning your landscape. Adding water features to your garden is one effective way you can convert an ordinary yard space to a little oasis in itself.

  3. What is a Water Feature? • The term “water feature” is used to refer to a wide range of products which includes ponds, waterfalls, fountains, and even pools. • Water features are usually associated with small, decorative outdoor items, but nowadays, they can be large enough to cover an entire backyard or wall even.   • You can also choose from a variety of construction materials such as granite, stainless steel, or glass. You can even opt to add music and lighting features for a more dramatic effect.

  4. Tips to Choosing the Right Water Feature

  5. Consider the Size of the Area • You can choose a water feature type or design depending on your home’s architectural theme or your personal preference. • One of the most common water features are fountains. An example of this is the vase that spills water onto the ground and then into the basin below. • There are also the spitting fountains, which feature a statue spitting into a bowl or other basin. This type of fountain can be installed together with a larger water feature or built stand-alone. • Another common water feature are waterfalls which require a strong pump to operate. This also demands a more complicated setup, but the good thing about them is that they can be customized depending on the available space.

  6. Look into the Ground Type • The ground type can as well give you clues which water feature will work best with your landscape. • Some water features may be better suited for flat areas, while some may do just fine in sloping locations. • Consult a professional landscape designer so you can trim down your options accordingly.

  7. Study Maintenance Requirements • A water feature can further be enhanced by adding plants on it or on the area where you’ll have it installed.   • If you are looking to build a pond in your backyard, then you can as well check out aquatic plants you can invest in. Don’t forget to familiarize yourself with the maintenance necessary to keep the plants thriving. • Do ask yourself over again if you’re ready for additional work. If you want fish, for one, you also need to regularly monitor the water quality, which could mean more chores. • If you have small kids in the house or often welcome kid visitors, you might also want to factor that one out as you make your decision.

  8. Define your Purpose • Finally, think why you want a water feature added to your landscape design. • A plant or fish-lover may want a water feature type that would allow them to explore their passion more. A homeowner, meanwhile, who is only looking to enjoy the soothing sound of water rushing minus the maintenance may be satisfied with fountains or water walls. • You have several options to choose from and yes, at some point, it can be overwhelming. • Start your research ahead of time, and if you need more information about water feature installation, please feel free to get in touch with us at California Waterscapes at 888 600 7224.
