Top 3 Water Features that Add Instant Beauty to Your Yard
Building or installing a water feature is an easy and cost-effective way to create a stunning yard. The mesmerizing sight of fish in the pond, or the soothing sound of water gently trickling down a sculpture or wall will:
- Make your outdoor space more relaxing
- Enhance the overall beauty and appeal of your landscape
- Increase the value of your home
Here are the top three, easy-to-install water features for your backyard:
- Water gardens or koi ponds: From floating gardens that feature waterlilies and lotuses, to ponds filled with vibrant koi fish, a small body of water can completely transform your landscape. Our experts can give you specific tips for:
- Excavating the hole
- Choosing a flexible or rigid liner
- Installing a filtration system
- Adding a submersible pump to keep the water clean
- Selecting the right water treatment products
- Waterwalls: Usually seen in hotel lobbies or exotic vacation resorts, a waterwall could be a unique and elegant addition to your home’s exterior. You can build one right beside your patio deck, as a backdrop to your outdoor kitchen, or even an enhancement to your swimming pool. No matter what location you decide, the waterwall is sure to become a conversation starter or focal point of your landscape. We can help you select:
- The right construction materials for building the wall
- Textural elements, such as tiles, stones, or pebbles to alter the sound of the water
- A filtration system that prevents mineral build up
- LED lights to create spectacular visual effects
- Fountains: Grand or delicate, modern or elaborate, you have a world of possibilities while installing a fountain in your yard. You can look at ways to incorporate a ready-made sculpture, or create your own unique design using natural stones, such as basalt or granite. With the right pump, plumbing accessories and installation tools, you can build a timeless feature that amps up the cool quotient of your home!
