OUTDOORS & INDOORS WATER FOUNTAINS: 12 reasons to have water fountains and other water features in your garden

12 reasons to have water fountains and other water features in your garden

For hundreds of years people have been enjoying water fountains. In the past, of course, only the wealthiest people could afford them in their vast parks and gardens, but today they become more and more popular. Today you can find water fountains that can fit any budget, large or small, you can also find all type of designs, from rustic to exotic, and from classic to modern.

But why should we bother to use this water fountains and water features for our backyard (or garden or balcony or patio etc)?

Here are 12 reasons why:

1. Tranquil environment

After day to day hard work, we need a place of our own to relax and unwind. A vacation would be great, but we cannot go in vacation every day anyway, and we need, for our peace of mind, a quiet place to relax.

A water fountain, in a chosen beautiful place, in our backyard or even on our patio or balcony, is very relaxing. The sound of falling, cascading water, is very relaxing. That is why water fountains have long been used in spas and beauty salons, as well as in yoga Studios etc

2. Create a Focal Point for your garden

In any exterior, as well as in interior decor, you have to create a Focal Point, a place where your eyes, after scanning the surroundings, have a place to rest.

Besides, a focal point distracts attention from other aspects of that place you might not want you or your guests to focus on.

Outdoors we can create it with lots of elements, but by far the easiest and fastest would be with a water fountain.

3. You can match the Water Fountain with your garden Style

I said at the beginning that there are dozens, and even hundreds of water fountain styles, so you can always find the ones to match your garden style.

4. They are relatively easy to maintain

Comparing to other garden features, fountains are relatively easy to maintain, but they do need regular maintenance.

5. You can use the natural sunlight shining through the falling water, creating an awesome effect ( by placing the fountain in such a way to enjoy the natural sunlight).

6. Promotes good health

As I mentioned before fountains create a relaxing environment, and by that it helps to relieve stress and anxiety.

7. Create a noise barrier

The sound of running water from the water fountain can drawn out and pleasant or loud noises from our neighbours, noises that we do not want to hear.

8. Is relatively inexpensive

Like I mentioned at the beginning of this article, water fountains can match any budget, small or high. One time I got an outdoor water fountain that I used on my balcony for only $15 ( of course it was a tabletop fountain).

9. You can create a natural habitat for fish

Of course this is usually done with medium and big size fountains. You can create a mini pond at the bottom of your fountain, and make a habitat for fish.

10. You can create a very attractive, natural corner, by placing potted flowers and plants around it, blending it with the overall style of your garden.

11. You can add more garden elements and the textures to your fountain

You can customise and personalise your garden by adding other elements around your water fountain (plants, different sizes and colours of rocks, tiles, garden decorations, etc)

12. Water Fountains attract wildlife to the yard

Birds, butterflies, other insects, frogs, etc are attracted to the water and so creates a real, natural wild like, wonderful spot in your garden.
