Sending a stream of water shooting into the air, spouting fountains leave a striking impression. Large, existing ponds can have one of these incorporated without much difficulty. You may have encountered one of these in a park or an old estate.

Outdoor water features come in varied forms, one of which is a chic wall fountain. If you are eager to include a water feature, but are concerned because you have a small yard, do not hesitate to install one of these. Spouting fountains normally make quite an impact whereas wall features are more of a subtle type of water feature. In this straightforward process, water is ejected from a little spout, runs down a beautifully textured wall, before being recovered at the bottom and returned to the top once again.

Putting in a fountain with a motif depends totally on the layout of your garden. In a rustic themed bungalow or garden, a traditional styled statue for your fountain could include cherubs holding the spout.

The main characteristic of tiered fountains is the numerous levels spewing out water. Water flowing down multiple tiers of this water feature is the chief characteristic of a cascading fountain.

Glass fountains make up a different category of fountain. Featuring shaped metalwork, trellis-style fountains of this kind have a more traditional aspect. Water features such as these are ideal for gardens with many sharp corners as well as modern forms and designs. As the water streams over the top of the glass it produces a dazzling effect. In some cases, the water is colored by LED lights as it flows over the glass panels. Often made of fake rock, stone waterfall fountains have water gently trickling down its surface.

In a bubbling rock fountain, a big rock is drilled with openings and then filled in the center with pipes. The gurgles and bubbles at the top are the result of the low pressure used to force the water upwards. The water comes back gently dripping down the sides of the rock to reach its starting point. Gardens with limited space are good spots to include this style of fountain. Water is moved at low pressure in this type of fountain, so you can rest assured that it will not spray all over should the wind pick up.

Solar driven fountains have become more fashionable recently since they run on sunlight.
