4 Main Types of Water Features

Premier Aquarium Service • July 23, 2020

If you’re looking to improve your landscaping, you may want to consider adding water elements. Water features are outdoor decor that can enhance the beauty and value of your property. Here are the four main types of water features for your landscaping project:

Pond Water Features

Ponds are vibrant and versatile water features for any backyard or garden. They offer a variety of options for customization. They can serve as bubbling water gardens, serene pools, or lively fish habitat. Ponds can contain an abundance of aquatic life and attract birds.

Ponds are built by digging a hole then lining it. A filtration system and submersible pump help keep the water clean. Some owners choose to add a waterfall to the pond to subdue the pump’s noise. Though the pumps are actually very quiet, a waterfall adds soothing sounds of moving water.

Waterfall Water Features

Waterfalls can add a depth of sound to your landscaping. These water features can incorporate either natural elements or brick. The waterfall’s height is determined by the landscaping area in which it’s placed. The noise generated depends on how much water movement is built into its design.

Stream Water Features

Stream water features are ideal for garden walkways. They are typically used along with other water features for a seamless look. A pump is used to help keep the water clean and flowing. If you have a larger landscaping area to work with, streams can be an ideal addition.

Water Fountain Water Features

Water fountains are invigorating water features typically found in pools and ponds. They utilize a pump that can spray water in any direction and are connected to the home’s water supply. Water fountains come in a variety of sizes and designs. These water features are ideal if you’re looking to add a touch of elegance to your landscaping.
