Pick a stylish wall fountain to put outside. These types of fountains make excellent water features even if you only have a small garden. Wall fountains are not flamboyant water features as compared to a spouting fountain. In a very simple process, the water spills out of a spout, trickles down a magnificently textured wall only to be pumped back to the top.

Dependent on the design you have chosen for the garden, you could consider a themed fountain. In a rustic themed bungalow or yard, a classical styled statue for your fountain could include cherubs holding the spout. Something unique and striking could be an option for more modern gardens. Feel free to let your hair down and pick something interesting and audacious.

The main trait of a multi-tiered fountain is that water streams from a variety of different levels. Due to the water moving down its multiple levels, these are also called cascading fountains.

Japanese fountains are thought to lend a feeling of tranquility and well-being. The water flows through bamboo sticks in this kind of water feature. A rustic bucket or shaped stone is situated at the bottom of this feature to collect the flowing water only to have the pattern repeated over and over again.

Fountains created from glass are another type available. A more vintage look is provided by trellis-style fountains which feature shaped metalwork. However, this type of water feature is better suited to backyard gardens with many sharp corners as well as contemporary forms and design. As the water flows over the top of the glass it produces a dazzling impact. LED lights are also utilized in some fountains to flash color across the water as it flows down on the glass sheet. With water softly running down its surface, rock waterfall fountains, often made of fake rock, are a possible option for your garden.

In a bubbling rock fountain, a big rock is drilled with holes and then filled in the center with pipes. The gurgles and bubbles at the top are the product of the low pressure used to trigger the water upwards. Flowing towards the bottom of the fountain, the water comes back as a slow drizzle down the sides of the rock. Gardens with limited space are good areas to include this style of fountain. This sort of fountain, which uses low pressure to move water, is perfect because it stops water from being sprayed around in breezy weather.

The trend of setting up solar powered fountains is becoming increasingly widespread. The reasons for this are varied, from the absence of wires and the reduced complexities to the decreased power bills and the beneficial effects on our environment. The wide-ranging designs in outdoor solar-run fountains signifies you will not have to compromise on style.

Choose from Countless Outdoor Wall Fountain Styles

Mounted and stand-alone water features are readily available on the market. Mounted wall fountains are small and self-contained variations which can be hung on a wall. Fountains of this type need to be lightweight, therefore, they are usually fabricated from resin (resembling stone) or fiberglass. Free-standing fountains, often referred to as floor fountains, are sizable, have a basin positioned on the ground and a smooth side which leans against a wall. There are no weight limits on these sorts of cast stone water features.

Custom-built fountains which can be integrated into a new or existing wall are often prescribed by landscaping designers. A professional mason is necessary to place the water basin against the wall and properly install all the plumbing inside or behind the wall. A fountain mask or a spout also needs to be integrated into the wall. A custom-built wall fountain blends into the landscape instead of standing out because it was a later addition, which adds to a unified appearance.
