Choose a fashionable wall fountain to put outside. These sorts of fountains make excellent water features even if you only have a little garden. Wall fountains are not flashy water features as compared to a spouting fountain.

Themed fountains are ideal when the style of your garden allows for them.

Fountains made of glass are another type on the market. Featuring shaped metalwork, trellis-style fountains of this kind have a more traditional aspect. However, this type of water feature is better suited to gardens with many sharp corners as well as contemporary forms and design. The water produces a stunning effect when it streams down the surface of the glass. Colorful LED lights are also included in some fountains to illuminate the water as it down down the sheet of glass.

The characteristic which distinguishes a bubbling rock fountain is a large rock drilled with holes where pipes can be inserted into its center.

Downward flowing water appears as gentle trickle as it moves down the sides of the rock to return to its base. This sort of fountain is perfectly suited for small gardens. To guarantee that water is not sprayed around if it begins to get windy, this kind of fountain is the best option since it only uses low pressure to move water.

Powered by sunlight, solar fountains are becoming rapidly trendy.

Where did Landscape Fountains Come From?

Originally, fountains only served a practical purpose. Cities, towns and villages made use of nearby aqueducts or springs to supply them with drinking water as well as water where they could bathe or wash. Used until the 19th century, in order for fountains to flow or shoot up into the air, their origin of water such as reservoirs or aqueducts, had to be higher than the water fountain in order to benefit from gravity. Acting as an element of adornment and celebration, fountains also generated clean, fresh drinking water. Roman fountains often depicted images of animals or heroes made of bronze or stone masks. To depict the gardens of paradise, Muslim and Moorish garden planners of the Middle Ages added fountains to their designs. King Louis XIV of France wanted to illustrate his dominion over nature by including fountains in the Gardens of Versailles. Seventeen and 18 century Popes sought to laud their positions by adding decorative baroque-style fountains at the point where restored Roman aqueducts arrived into the city.

The end of the 19th century saw the rise in usage of indoor plumbing to provide drinking water, so urban fountains were relegated to strictly decorative elements. Gravity was substituted by mechanical pumps in order to permit fountains to bring in clean water and allow for beautiful water displays.

Modern fountains are used to adorn public spaces, honor individuals or events, and enrich recreational and entertainment events.
