A Relaxing Atmosphere

An outdoor fountain can bring a soothing, peaceful sound to any patio or outdoor living space. The gentle sound of trickling water helps calm frazzled nerves and enhances the beauty of the outdoors. Fountains provide instant atmosphere – sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds of nature!

Added Benefits Of Outdoor Fountains

In addition to the soothing presence of fountains, they also benefit your outdoor living space in other ways. A fountain can attract beautiful birds to your patio – neighboring birds will want to use your fountain for a refreshing bird bath! Not only will you be attracting more beauty to your space, but you will also be diminishing unwanted sounds. The gentle sound of flowing water helps mask noise from neighbors or passing cars.

An outdoor fountain is a great addition to any outdoor living space, and there are many sizes and designs to choose from. Why not add a little tranquility and peace to your patio?

A Little Feature with Great Effect

A water feature needn’t be an extravagant affair to be effective. The mere presence of water enhances a garden through interplays of light, movement and sound. Small-scaled bubbling fountains set in urns, pots or vases can provide a striking focal point for the garden when combined with artful plantings. A simple bird bath set in a quiet corner will become a haven for feathered friends.

A Grand Statement

Stone fountains that evoke a classical or romantic feeling add drama to a garden. Ornamented with statues or architectural motifs, larger fountains command attention. Use them as a centerpiece, placed in the central area of a lawn or surrounded by a gravel or stone path. Other larger-scale options include waterfalls, wall fountains, steams and pools.

A water feature will add a soothing sound track to your life outdoors, transforming your garden into a space for relaxation, rejuvenation and reflection.

Naturally, there are some important things to consider when it comes to what to use and where to put it, especially if you don’t have a lot of money or free space to work with.

Low Budget

Even without a generous budget you can make a definite difference in your garden’s appearance. Re-purpose a few pieces you’re already using around the house and create a focal point with inexpensive yet colorful wildflowers accentuated by a single set of wind chimes or small statue.

Limited Space

Not everyone has the luxury of having ample outdoor space for decorating. Fortunately, adding just a few personal touches is all that’s needed to add interest to the garden, porch, patio, or backyard. Also remember to make good use of vertical space, something often overlooked when it comes to decorating outside.

Wherever you are, simple yet beautiful garden decor is the first step toward bringing that comfortable, welcoming feeling from inside home to the great outdoors.

Gazebos

A Gazebo is delightful as an intimate gathering spot, or a relaxing spot to take in the beauty of the garden. Gazebos are available in many shapes, sizes and materials, and can even fit in very small gardens. Traditional wood structures add an organic feel to the garden, but wrought iron and aluminum gazebos are also available for more modern home decor.

Pergolas

Pergolas function much like gazebos, except that they are open and airy. They can be separate outdoor structures or attached to the home. Beams cover the top of the pergola to provide some shade and privacy, but sunlight is still allowed to shine through the spaces in the beams. Vines can be planted to grow around the columns and through the beams. This can make it a lovely, private spot for intimate conversations, or a morning cup of coffee.

Gazebos and pergolas are inviting additions to any landscape. They are charming, functional and add an appealing design element to the garden.

Any Space Will Do

Great outdoor retreats don’t have to take up a lot of space. Almost any corner of your yard can be a good place to unwind with a cold drink or a good book. Just picking a spot and brainstorming will be half the fun.

A Few Ideas

If your yard has a privacy fence, hedges or a wall, then every corner will have privacy on at least two sides. Another section of fencing or row of small trees will give you a perfect retreat for your evening and weekend hours. Just add a little gravel or a few pavers and you’re good to go.

Once you’ve built your outdoor retreat, all that’s left to do is to decide whether you want to add anything to make the space more relaxing. A water feature such as a fountain or pond can be just what you need to make your retreat the ideal place to kick back and enjoy the changing seasons.

Statues

Choose a material that works best in your garden. Resin statues are popular lately for their durability and ability to look like more expensive materials. They are also pretty light so moving them is not an issue. Other statues come in more traditional materials, like marble or brass, but some people do not like exposing these expensive materials to the weather. An excellent solution is to purchase statues made of concrete.

Fountains

Fountains are another way to add character to the landscape. Fountains are available in large, ornate styles or simple designs for some added Zen. Fountains usually have self-contained water systems and can run on electricity or battery power. Solar powered fountains are also available.

Gazing Balls and Stakes

Gazing balls and ornamental stakes add a splash of color and sparkle to the garden. Gazing balls can be put on pedestals or simply placed in the garden for a little unexpected surprise, like an Easter egg. They are available in different materials, like stainless-steel, glass or ceramic, and can last a long time.

Garden stakes are another way to add just a little hint of color to your garden. There are thousands of designs to choose from, some even have parts that will move in the wind.

Your garden decor should reflect your personality. A little sparkle or touch of whimsy makes a generic garden a reflection of you.

Installing Your Fountain

Depending on the type of garden fountain you select, professional installation may be needed. A small water fountain can be a do -it-yourself task which requires digging up soil, leveling the ground, pouring concrete, and connecting a small solar pump. However, more advanced and elaborate water fountains need to be installed by professional landscaping contractors. The tasks may involve laying out an entire plumbing and electrical system to operate the fountain. A powerful water pump and a digital control panel are the latest features for a garden fountain.

Selecting A Design

Garden fountains are available in a myriad of striking designs which have been crafted to resemble old world charm. A custom made fountain can be molded into any design from luxurious materials such as marble, bronze, and stone. All that homeowners need to do is connect the assembled fountain to the installed plumbing and power supply laid out by the landscaping professionals. The major types of fountain designs include stand alone and wall mounted types.

A garden fountain can add priceless aesthetic appeal to the facade of home and blend in well with the landscaping.

The running water also helps to keep the water fresh and bacteria free.
