Water Feature MarylandA water feature can be the defining conversation piece in your backyard. Water features breathe a little bit of life into every landscaping project. They’re known to be calming and add an element of Zen to a garden or patio area that will make you feel as relaxed as possible at your own home. There are many different types of water features to consider when you’re working out your landscaping plan. Which one you go with all depends on your preference and the amount of space you have to work with.

  • Fountains – These aren’t just for the rich and they don’t have to be huge features. You can have small, medium, or large fountains and they’re very customizable. Fountains will help you add some sophistication to your landscape.
  • Koi Ponds – The great thing about these ponds are the koi. While the pond itself can be a work of art, fish are known to have a calming effect. Combining your koi pond with a bubbler or a waterfall can add even more majesty to this ancient tradition.
  • Streambeds – Installing a flowing streambed can transform your entire yard if it’s done properly. Having a pretty rock stream flow through your backyard will make your landscaping the talk of the neighborhood. It’s also easy to add other features around a streambed, such as a water wall or fountain to enhance the stream.
  • Pondless Features – This is a recent trend that allows homeowners to have a water feature with a lot less maintenance than ponds, while still getting the calming benefits of a water feature in the backyard.

These are just a few options for water features. Using natural stone and rocks can make your water feature look and feel natural in your backyard. Water features give you a chance to create a backyard oasis, which can be a perfect getaway after a busy day in the office. Everyone needs to take some time to relax and find some inner peace. Water features are a simply way to do that. Get ready for summer by adding a water feature to your yard.
