Water Fountains for Your Home and Garden

For the average home owner who searches for a water feature they should find one that is self-contained, meaning that they do not require water to be plumbed in; the water is cycled from a hidden basin, and is repumped by a small water pump. The pump and basin can either be in the water feature, or buried underground (in the case of an outdoor water feature).

A water feature may be indoor or outdoor and can be any size, from a table top water fountain to a large indoor wall fountain that will add the soothing sounds of a waterfall to your surrondings and help relieve stress.

Standing Garden Water Fountains

To really make a focal point in you backyard there is nothing like a Garden Water Fountain. It makes a great place to relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of water, and to watch the birds as they bath and drink. It also makes for a great conversation piece when you have guests.

Now is a good time to starting planning your garden for the weather that will soon be here.

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!

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.

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.

Water Park

On a day like today, just the thought or sounds of water cascading makes it seem cooler! Makes you almost want to be a kid again so you can run through the water of a regular garden hose, but a trip to a water park would be even better.

Wall Fountains

The weather has finally turn HOT, and the birds taking the bird baths, fountains and pond. It is so much fun to watch them as the play. They splash about and chase each other, chirping all the while. Not much difference are the children as they chase, run and splash in the pool and/or fountain. The cool water makes you forget how hot it really is. Check out these fountains for your backyard enjoyment.
