Make a Splash with a Spectacular Water Feature

Summer is starting to peek around the corner, and that means more time outside! With long, hot afternoons, lazy barbecues, outdoor parties, and drippy Popsicles on the grass, summer is the time to be outdoors. And that means that it’s time to whip your yard into shape.

If you’re looking to give your yard some wow factor, look no further. A water feature – also known to us common folk as a fountain – introduces a new dimension of beauty and relaxation to any outdoor space. Imagine that summer party/barbecue/afternoon/hangout session with the soothing sound and mesmerizing visual of cascading, trickling, or otherwise running water (without running to find the culprit who left the hose on); it’s an entirely different experience!

Check out some of our favorite water features and start dreaming of yours.

There are the simple yet effective models: a sheet or stream of water, strategically placed for maximum impact:
