Water features <\/em>provide gardens with beautiful, tranquil focal points that soothe the senses and attract the eye. There are many types of water features<\/strong> that can be incorporated into a yard. At Fontana Ponds & Water Features<\/a>, we specialize in water feature installations<\/a> and our experienced experts ensure that each water feature<\/em> is perfectly suited to the layout of the property upon which it is built.<\/p>\n

4 Basic Water Features Types<\/h2>\n

Whether you are working with a flat landscape or a yard on an incline, there are water features <\/em>available to compliment your garden. Although there is a broad range of styles and designs, there are four essential types of water features<\/em> that can be built:<\/p>\n

Ponds and Pools<\/h3>\n

If you are looking for a water feature <\/em>that embodies vibrant life while remaining serene and tranquil, a pond <\/em>is the way to go. Ponds <\/em>have the ability to contain an abundance of life in the form of aquatic flora, fish, frogs, and they often serve as an attraction to birds. A pond offers a variety of options for customization; it can serve as a vivacious water garden, a peaceful reflecting pool,<\/em> or a mesmerizing fish habitat.<\/p>\n

Waterfalls<\/h3>\n

Waterfalls<\/em> add a dimension of peaceful sound to any garden. They can use natural elements, like rocks and moss, or they can incorporate brick and concrete for a more manicured look. Waterfalls are the perfect water feature<\/em> for yards that are not naturally flat, but, if your garden is flat and you want to add a bit of vertical texture, a waterfall<\/em> can work with any landscape.<\/p>\n

Streams<\/h3>\n

Streams<\/em> are very similar to waterfalls<\/em> in that they use a pump to move water from a pool or reservoir to a higher point so that it can flow back down in a lively cascade of beauty; however, where waterfalls are vertical, streams take a more horizontal approach. This type of water feature<\/em> is often used in conjunction with a bridge and a path so that the entire landscape design can be enjoyed.<\/p>\n

Water Fountains<\/h3>\n

Usually positioned in the middle of a pond <\/em>or pool<\/em>, a water fountain<\/em> uses a pump to shoot water up into the air. Fountains <\/em>are an invigorating type of water feature<\/em> that can spray water in almost any shape or shower pattern.<\/p>\n

Water features<\/em> can often be combined to create an intricate system of aquatic beauty.
