Water Features


Now is a good time to put in your water features. There are many, many different sizes and shapes of water fountains. And each fountain sounds different. Some will sound like water cascading, while others may sound like a steady drip and others may have a splashing sound. What do you prefer?

Sounds of the Garden Water Fountain


Wow. This is heavenly!! It is so nice to wake up with the sun shining and the birds singing. To take my cup of coffee and sit out on the patio. I can see the the spring flowers blooming and take in the sights and sounds of nature as I contemplate what will be happening today. How relaxing this is.The sounds of the garden water fountain splashing, and watching the birds take a dip the cool off or clean up whatever the case may be. Does this sound like a plan or what?

Ponds and Fountains Prep


With the weather warming up it is a good time to check on your ponds and fountains. Remove any debris that may be in the pond. You can turn your fountain pump and filters on to help remove and clean your water.
Now is a good time to add your submerged water plants such as anacharis and hornwort. When all danger of frost you can begin adding your other plants such a water lilies, lotus, reeds and rushes. There are many plants to choose from! some are flowering and some are beautiful foliage plants.

Wall Water Fountains


Have you always wanted to do something with that bland garage wall but you just can't figure out what to do with it.
Bring the sounds of your water fountain into your backyard with a wall water fountain. Wall Fountains are a special addition to your surroundings. Studies have shown that the splashing water puts healthful negative ions into your surrounding environment. This helps to control allergies by keeping airborne dust partials to a minimum. The sound of flowing water also helps to relax and de-stress you after a long hard day.

Adding Art


Inspired by the abstract artifacts found in the nation's foremost modern-art museums, the sleek lines and simple shapes lend distinction to this magnificent water sculpture. Cascading water gets extra sparkle when backlit by the light in the lip of the spout; faux-stone finish exactly resembles hand-hewn granite. Impressive and sophisticated!
It is easy to add beauty, art and a water feature to your home.

Mountain Eagle


A favorite theme to any indoor or outdoor decor is Americana. You know red, white, blue, eagles, flags, etc. Almost anything that comes from early America.
There are many ways to carry this theme out. You can use Flags, benches, flower pots, plaques. You can create your own design of things. This makes it fun and unique. Or you can purchase your items online, in store or out of catalogs. Have fun!

Fountain Lights


Why not add some lights? Outdoor spotlights can hightlight your fountain from above or below the water level.You can find waterproof lights in most larger hardware stores or garden supply centers. Generally these lights come with colored lenses so that you can change them for different holidays, parties or as the season changes. I love to be able to view the fountain at all hours of the day and night.
