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.

Dolphin & Waves Water Fountain

Your fountain will still be a great focal point in you garden, even though "Fall" is here and the temperatures are falling. You can safely leave your garden fountain running until the temperatures stay in the freezing zone. Always check to be sure there is plenty of water to recycle. This time of year you should also check to make sure that leaves and other debris do no clog the flow of water.

Gift Suggestions

Still trying to figure out a gift for Aunt Mary or for another family member or friend? Well I guarantee they will love to have a fountain. There are many to choose from. There are fountains that sit on a table/desk, on a wall (they can be used inside or out) and standing fountains (also can be used inside or outside).
Water fountains – bring the soothing sounds of flowing water into the home, but they also bring a visual element. Not only are water fountains beautifully designed and able to complement just about any existing home decor, the water itself lends another dimension of stress relief to the equation. Watching the dance and trickle of water as it flows across rocks, down textured surfaces, and into a basin at the bottom enhances our auditory experience. When we listen to sound machines or audio recordings of nature sounds, we may feel the need to close our eyes to block out visual distractions around us that take our minds away from the goal of relaxation. In contrast, the visual attributes of water fountains bring us closer to that goal by giving us something beautiful and elemental to focus on with our eyes as we listen with our ears.

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.

Decorative Outdoor Garden Pond With Fountain

If you have a decorative outdoor garden pond with fountain, be sure that you cover it with some type of netting (you can get this in most garden or department stores). The purpose of this is to keep the falling leaves and other debris that is be being blown around out of the pond. The leaves become wet and begin decaying. This decaying is harmful to any fish you might have. It will also produce an unsightly murky water

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.

Check out these fountains for your backyard enjoyment.

Frog and Lily Pad Tabletop Fountain

Have you ever considered using a table top fountain on your deck? or in a sun room? As long as you can access electicity it would be ideal on a deck or in a sun room. You will still be able to enjoy the sounds of the water without being in the hot summer sun.
Especially with this table top fountain where four froggy friends grab a cool drink of water from the cup of a lily pad leaf. A treat to behold, indoors or out!

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.

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.

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.
