Water Features in the Landscape
Adding a pond, fountain or watergarden can dramatically
enhance the atmosphere in your yard. A well-designed water feature can
create a delightful visual display, provide a serene background sound for
warm summer days spent relaxing outdoors, and also attract the interest
of playful birds. Careful consideration must be taken in selecting the
size, location, and style of your water feature.
If you are planning to introduce a water feature into your landscape, whether professionally installed or as a do-it-yourself project, we suggest that you peruse the information in the following sections and then read through the Pre-Design Questionnaire/Checklist.
Free, printable PDF booklets containing most of the water gardening information on this site can be found in our Instructional Materials Downloads section.
