Your Garden: The Perfect Spot for a Fountain
Your Garden: The Perfect Spot for a Fountain The addition of a wall water feature or an outdoor garden fountain is a great way to embellish your yard or garden design. Contemporary artists and fountain builders alike use historical fountains and water features to shape their creations. You can also reinforce the link to the past by incorporating one of these to your home's interior design. Among the many properties of these beautiful garden fountains is the water and moisture they discharge into the air which attracts birds and other wild life as well as helps to balance the ecosystem. Flying, bothersome insects, for instance, are frightened off by the birds congregating near the fountain or birdbath.Spouting or cascading fountains are not the best alternative for a small garden since they require a great deal of space. You can choose to set up a stand-alone fountain with a flat back and an connected basin propped against a fence or wall in your backyard, or a wall-mounted type which is self-contained and suspended from a wall. A fountain can be added to an existing wall if you include some sort of fountain mask as well as a basin to gather the water below. It is best not to undertake this job yourself as skilled plumbers and masons are best suited to do this type of work.
