Your Outdoor Living Area: An Ideal Place for a Garden Fountain
Your Outdoor Living Area: An Ideal Place for a Garden Fountain
You can improve your exterior space by including a wall fountain or an outdoor garden water feature to your property or gardening project. Any number of present-day designers and fountain artisans have found inspiration in the fountains and water features of the past. You can also reinforce the link to the past by including one of these to your home's interior design. The benefit 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. Flying, annoying insects, for instance, are scared away by the birds congregating around the fountain or birdbath. The space required for a cascading or spouting fountain is substantial, so a wall fountain is the ideal size for a small yard. Either a freestanding fountain with an even back and an attached basin placed against a fence or a wall, or a wall-mounted style which is self-contained and hangs on a wall, are some of the possibilities from which you can choose. Be sure to include a fountain mask to an existing wall and a basin to collect the water at the base if you wish to add a fountain to your living area. Since the plumbing and masonry work is extensive to complete this type of job, you should hire a professional to do it rather than attempt to do it alone.
