Water Fountains


A very simplistic but artful water fountain. There are many fountains on the market today! But if your crafty you can design your own. Fountains pumps can be purchased separately. Find a nice location, assembly your fountain with your pump, add water and plug it in. In no time you'll be destressing!

Beautiful Wall Fountains


Does your backyard have that WOW effect when a friend walks into see it for the first time?
Close your eyes ——— envision sitting with your friends on your patio with a small fire going in the granite fire pit table. Enjoying the conversation and quality time that is so hard to come by with our busy schedules. You sit back relax and you can see your wall fountain with the accent lights making it glisten and hear the soothing sound of the water from your wall fountain among the chatter and laughter of people enjoying the evening.
Then when they are leaving after this special evening, they are so envious of what you have done to your backyard that they start asking for advice from you to improve their own little slice of paradise.

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. We can even place our own fingers in the water’s flow to change the sound of the water as it moves; feeling the water stream across our skin would bring yet another sensory element to our experience.

Tabletop Fountain


Now that the weather is turning colder, you might want to bring the outdoors inside by adding a tabletop fountain to your home decor. Table Top Fountains are highly recommended inhomes and offices to help increase the humidity levels and decrease the amount of dust particles in the air. This will have a large effect on people with allergies. The sound of the soothing running water also helps to produce a relaxing atmosphere which in turn reduces stress.

Winterizing Our Ponds & Fountains continued


We've been winterizing our ponds and fountains. The pond should be covered with netting to keep the falling leaves and debrie out. The decaying debrie is poisonous to the fish. As it decays it sends of chemicals that will kill the fish. The debrie will also often clog up the pump.


Then we removed our plants. Some plants like the water hyacinth and lettuce we'll just throw away as they don't winter over. The tropical plants like the rushes, cannas, elephant ear, arrow and arum can be taken to the garage or basement (somewhere where they won't freeze).


We can still enjoy the fountain for awhile yet.

Bring Your Water Plants In


If you have topical plants in your pond, now is a good time to take them out. If you have time, it will also be a good time to repot them if necessary. Clean them up by removing dead leaves and blossoms. We put ours in the basement. We don't want them to freeze, but they will go dormant since it will be cooler for them.
