Searching for a Unique Fountain


You say you would like to have a fountain, but you really don't want what everyone else has. You want something that is unique. Something that will really catch your eye and that of everyone else that can see it.
How do you find one? The garden centers all seem to carry the same ones. If you are not in a big hurry I suggest that when you're on a drive through the country, stop at one of the smaller garden centers. You might be surprised! Or search the internet.....there really is a great selection if you have the time to search.

Backyard Water Fountains


The water that flows in a water fountain never sounds exactly the same from one moment to the next. This dynamic quality keeps our listening experience from growing monotonous or predictable, which can easily happen if we listen to sound machines or audio recordings regularly. We can also choose to dramatically change the “song” of the water in our water fountain, simply by rearranging rocks or other features in the basin or by adding a new element – such as a seashell, leaf, or small piece of wood – along the water’s path.

Smaller Water Fountains


Water fountains don't have to be large or take up alot of space. There are many on the market that are smaller and perfect if you don't have alot of room. Just look around and you'll find what you are looking for.
Just remember that you will need an electric source to run your pump.

Many Different Types of Fountains


There are so many different fountains on the market today. There are table fountains, wall fountains, garden fountains and pond fountains. If you are imaginative you can use most anything to design you fountain.
Often times objects that play in role in a person lifestyle might be used. A farmer might use tile or obsolete implements.

Unusual


You know, when you are designing your backyard and you chose a fountain, you can design your own. Think out of the box and see what you can come up with.
While surf the net I found this unique fountain. It's really kind of clever.

The Winter Fountain


Even in the winter your fountain can be beautiful. That is when it first starts to freeze, then you'll want to turn the pump off and bring it in to the garage or basement so you don't burn it up. It can look almost magical with its icicles hanging down. No splash today.

Ponds and Fountains


Do you have a large space for a backyard water fountain? or a small space? or maybe not any ground space? You know it really doesn't matter. Fountains today come in all sorts of sizes and styles. You can set them in the ground, on a table or ledge or even on the side of your house, garage or outbuilding.
Just pick a spot, select your fountain and you're ready to get started. You don't need to plumb them as they come with a small pump to circulate the water. Just plug them in and you are done.

Water Fountains


Do you like the sounds of rushing water or water lazily flowing in a stream? Either of these sounds can be replicated by a water fountain. Each fountain is engineered to make a different sound. Check out the different fountains and see which is most pleasing to you. Some ponds have different features to give you several different sounds. Of course these would be some of the larger fountains.
