Top Water Feature Ideas for Your Garden<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Water has long been considered an essential feature in gardens. Symbolising flowing wealth and power, the unmistakable beauty and movement that water brings to any space makes it a great garden feature even today.<\/p>\n

Whether you have a large garden or a smaller patio, water features can create a significant impact on the whole\u00a0garden design<\/b>. They can run without costing as much as the installation, especially when they are solar<\/b> powered.<\/p>\n

Flowing water creates a distinct sound that adds a certain sense of calmness to a garden space. Aside from the aesthetic benefits, adding a water feature can also attract birds <\/b>and other wildlife to your garden.<\/p>\n

Water features may seem like they take extra work, but they require far less maintenance than a regular garden bed. Without any weeds to pull or wilted plants<\/b> to rake, you\u2019ll have an incredible oasis in your backyard all year round.<\/p>\n

Why You Should Add a Water Feature to Your Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n

The great thing about water features is that they can be added to even the smallest gardens. Whether you use vessels, pots<\/b>, bowls or a still water portion in your garden, you can take advantage of the dynamic sound and movement that water brings to any space.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Here are key reasons why it\u2019s a great idea to add a water feature:<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
    \n
  1. Water features are easy to maintain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Contrary to what some homeowners might think, upkeep of water features is not so complicated, especially if it\u2019s a small feature.<\/p>\n

    Yes, you already do your lawn mowing and watering regularly, and cleaning water features seem like extra work. But these minor tasks can be accomplished easily. Cleaning the fountain or pond, polishing accessories <\/b>such as the rocks, statues<\/b> and ornamental <\/b>stone<\/b> \u2013 these are all done to make sure that there are no water blockages.<\/p>\n

    You can do these on your own or have your local garden care<\/strong> company do it for you.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Water creates a cooling effect <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      With a water feature, you can have an even more pleasant garden to enjoy during those hot summer days. It allows you to grow aquatic and semi-aquatic plants for more greenery in your garden, and the water itself lowers the temperature in your intimate space.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Water attracts birds and wildlife<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you want to make your plants healthier, consider adding a water feature. Birds, frogs and insects are always drawn to water sources, so having water within the garden will encourage more wildlife to pollinate your plants and flowers.<\/p>\n

        With a water feature, you\u2019re likely to have an easier time maintaining gardens<\/strong> and keeping your foliage healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>

        1. Water brings serenity to any garden space<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Be it a fountain or a flowing pond, water features create this distinct, tranquil sound that cancels out the stresses of urban living. A water feature can bring a whole new dimension to your contemplative time spent in the garden. This could essentially serve as a form of therapy for your body and mind, right at your home.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Water makes the yard look bigger<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The reflective properties of water can make any space look and feel larger. This is why garden planners and landscaping artists rely on water features to create depth and impact in a garden.<\/p>\n

            Using dark-coloured marble or similar material for a fountain or other type of water feature can create beautiful reflections of the surrounding views.<\/p>\n<\/div>
