Adding a water element to your home or yard has become really popular these days. It adds beauty, tranquility, and can add value to your home when it comes time to sell. You need to consider how much space you have, the maintenance required for upkeep, and of course, your budget.
Here are some typical water features:
Water Gardens
Water gardens usually focus on plants and can include fountains or waterfalls. They can be large or small.
Ponds
Ponds usually contain fish and require more detailed care than water gardens. They can be any size, but experts say they should be at least 18-22 inches deep.
Pondless Waterfalls
A pondless waterfall takes up less space because the pond is underground. It can be made to fit almost any area.
Container Water Gardens
These are good for small spaces. They're made with a container, pond liner, equipment, and plants. You can add fish of course, but if you do, you'll have to consider the space and filtration needed.
Fountains
There are tabletop and wall fountains, English and Grecian. There are even solar-powered ones!
Whatever you decide, you'll be sure to have a lot of options. Get creative and have fun!
