06 Jan 5 Ways to Incorporate Water Features in Your Garden
Water features are an excellent way to enhance the aesthetic or functional aspects of your garden. Due to its versatility, water can be used in virtually any location or situation.
Aquatic Plants
Aquatic plants such as waterlilies are an excellent choice as they help to filter the water, keeping it safe and clean. This is especially important if you plan on keeping fish as they cannot survive with chemical cleaning. Plants also add visual interest to the water feature, creating a holistic garden design.
Feature Pool
A swimming pool can be designed to include decorative features that enhance the overall atmosphere of your garden. An example would be to include a cascade at either end of a long swimming pool. This would create added interest both day and night. Using a deck and glass doors can create an open plan space for your pool area. Modern safety fencing can enhance the look of your outdoor spaces with compromising the aesthetic.
Small Water Bowls
Water bowls are an excellent choice for small areas as they provide structure, height and visual interest. They can easily be chosen according to the amount of space you are working with. This ensures they do not become obtrusive to the overall design.
Striking Entrance
A dramatic garden entrance is entirely possible with the inclusion of a striking water feature. This could include the installation of ponds, water bowls, fountains or a combination of the three. Climate permitting, aquatic flowers and plants could add further colour and interest to the entrance.
Use Levels
A great way to highlight the changes of level in a garden is by incorporating it into a series of water features. As the water flows through the different sections in the garden, different features can be shown off along the way. The use of levels can help to create a sense of flow and cohesion in the garden.
