Low Maintenance Water Features for Busy Homeowners

For many homeowners in Greater Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, the charm of owning a beautifully landscaped property is often met with the reality of continuous maintenance. The joy of having a stunning outdoor space really does not have to come with time-consuming upkeep and countless obligations. Fontana Ponds & Water Features brings you a list of five low-maintenance water features for busy homeowners that not only elevate the aesthetics of your property but are also easy to care for.

1. Pondless Waterfalls

One of the most sought-after water features, pondless waterfalls are not only a visual masterpiece but also a low-maintenance option. Without the need for regular cleaning that a pond might require, busy homeowners can enjoy the serene sounds of flowing water without the added workload. These pondless waterfalls are designed with an underground reservoir, ensuring safety for children and pets while making maintenance a breeze.

All you need to do from time to time, in case of a drought, is just add more water. Take a look at a few more maintenance tips for your waterfall.

2. Self-Contained Fountains

Self-contained fountains are another excellent option for homeowners looking to add a touch of elegance to their outdoor space without committing to extensive upkeep. These fountains come in various styles and sizes and are equipped with an internal pump system, making them easy to install and maintain.

3. Koi Ponds With Automatic Feeders and Cleaning Systems

Though koi ponds can sometimes demand attention, installing automatic feeders and self-cleaning systems can drastically reduce maintenance time. This technology ensures that the fish are fed and the water is kept clean, minimizing the manual work required.

4. Bubbling Rocks and Basalt Columns

For those seeking a unique and artistic water feature, bubbling rocks and basalt columns are a fantastic choice. They are natural stones that have been hollowed out to allow water to bubble through the top and cascade down the sides. These features are not only captivating to watch but also require minimal maintenance, given that they utilize a hidden underground reservoir.

5. Wall Fountains

Ideal for small spaces, wall fountains can be mounted directly onto a wall, saving valuable floor space. They come in various designs, from modern to classical, and require only a water source and an electrical outlet. With an automated water circulation system, maintenance is minimal.
