Water features for your outdoor living space

As a homeowner, you know that it can be very difficult to keep your landscape looking its best.  

 

You are always on the lookout for new and exciting ways to infuse your yard with an extra burst of beauty.  

 

Incorporating a water feature into your yard design is one of the best ways to give your yard a unique feature to help it stick out in the best way.  

 

Not only that, but water features help you cool off on blistering hot summer days.  

 

Water adds a unique texture and relaxing atmosphere to any yard.  

 

But what are some fashionable features to consider? 

 

Keep reading and will go over the four best water features to add to your yard this summer or fall.  

 

A Closer Look at Unique Water Features for Your Yard 

 

If you want to add a unique feature to your landscape that will have all your neighbors talking, a water feature is a right way to go.  

 

Let’s look at some of the most stunning water features for your yard this year.  

 

Install a Tranquil Pond  

 

Ponds are one of the easiest and most beautiful water features you can install in your garden.  

 

You can go as big or as small as you choose, and many suppliers come with a pre-built liner and edging set-ups.  

 

If you want to create your pond by yourself, it will take no more than one weekend’s worth of work to get done. 

 

If you want your pond to stay healthy, then it is best to completely clean out your pond at least once a year. So be sure to include yearly maintenance into your budget.  

 

Add an Electric Waterfall 

 

The only thing better than a babbling brook is the serene flow of an electric waterfall.  

 

A small waterfall appearing over the lip of a clay pot or flowing over an arch can make for a striking feature to add to your garden.  

 

But what do you do if you do not like the look of standing water? 

 

A disappearing waterfall is your answer.  

 

An underground recessed weir allows for your water to disappear underground where it is stored in a cistern. Add river rocks to give the illusion that the water is vanishing naturally. 

 

Install a Birdbath or Fountain 

 

A birdbath or bird fountain is an elegant way to include water in your landscape design.  

 

Not only are bird baths easy on your budget, but they are also easy on the eyes. This simple feature attracts birds of all species, making it an amateur bird watcher’s dream.  

 

Design a Faux River 

 

If you want to add shallow water to your yard, why not make it a full-fledged feature? 

 

A faux river may be the answer if you want a simple and clutter-free infusion of water into your landscape.  

 

Plan for a small stream to run across your yard, to enhance your landscape with the sound of a babbling brook.  

 

This is an especially great idea if your landscape naturally flows downhill. Just remember to plan for walking space for you and your guests.
