Your Garden: An Ideal Place for a Garden Fountain
Your Garden: An Ideal Place for a Garden Fountain
The area outside your residence can be polished up by adding a wall or a garden fountain to your landscaping or garden project. Historical fountains and water features have sparked the interest of modern-day designers as well as fountain designers. You can also reinforce the connection to the past by incorporating one of these to your home's interior design. The advantage of having a garden fountain goes beyond its beauty as it also appeals to birds and other wildlife, in addition to harmonizing the ecosystem with the water and moisture it releases into the atmosphere. For example, irksome flying insects are usually deterred by the birds attracted to the fountain or birdbath. Wall fountains are a good alternative if your yard is small because they do not require much space in contrast to a spouting or cascading fountain. There are two types of fountains to pick from including the freestanding version with a flat back and an attached basin set up against a fence or a wall in your yard, or the wall-mounted, self-contained version which is suspended directly on a wall. Adding a fountain to an existing wall requires that you include a fountain mask as well as a basin at the bottom to collect the water. It is best not to attempt this job yourself as skilled plumbers and masons are more suitable to do this type of work.
