Garden Water Features
Garden water features are of course water features for your garden and this means things like waterfalls and fountains that you can use to add atmosphere and scenery to your garden relatively easily. When you add a water feature to your garden there are many types to choose from, from natural looking rock pools with built in fountains that will blend into the fauna and greenery in your garden, to more modern looking arrangements using stone balls and other features.
There are many benefits of water features and if you choose a good one for your property then you will find that this not only gives you a great feature to look at, but that it also transforms the feeling of your garden environment in other ways too. Here we will look at just a few of the benefits of garden features and what they can offer you.
Appearance: A garden water feature is a great looking thing to have in your home and one that will create a very natural feel in your garden. Often these will be made to blend into the appearance of your garden with natural looking rocks and the appearance of a small waterfall or rock pool. This can make a great feature for a garden and can take center stage, or it can be a smaller side attraction in the corner that shows attention to detail in your garden layout – something to find for those who are looking for it.
Sound: A garden waterfall doesn’t just look good though it also sounds great, and it’s highly relaxing to listen to the trickling noise it makes which can be likened to a babbling brook in a river giving your home the feeling of a natural setting. If you’ve ever listened to one of those relaxation CDs then you’ll not that they tend to feature trickling streams quite highly. This then is a sign of just how relaxing and calming a stream really is and how we are almost ‘programmed’ to enjoy that sound. If you enjoy sitting outside and listening to the birds for a moment’s respite from the busy pace of modern living, then this is the perfect way to get to enjoy that even more.
Light: Another great thing about a fountain is the way it refracts and reflects light. Here the sunlight will sometimes catch on the glass and reflect off of it, while at other times you will get to enjoy the lighting included in it. Usually this will be in the form of LEDs lighting the water from underneath and this will tend to be an electric blue or a neon green. In the evening then this serene lighting will be refracted and will dance around the garden in a similar way to the way in which a flame dances in the light – it can be completely hypnotic.
Wildlife: A garden water feature will also draw to your garden a host of wildlife and particularly birds that can bath in the water or drink it, and this is great for those who enjoy watching wildlife from their gardens.
We had a garden water feature installed as a centerpiece in our small courtyard/backyard area. It gives the space more life and we got it from this water features Melbourne supplier, who took care of everything.
