Water Features and echo ponds
What is a Water Feature? A water feature is any indoor or outdoor decor that incorporates water. From a small tabletop fountain or container water garden to a large commercial lake or retention pond...and anything in-between. Choose from four basic categories that emerge from this range of options
Fountainscapes
Are small decorative water features such as tabletop fountains, container water gardens. Stand-alone fountains, bubbling urns, spitters, and fountains that incorporate an in-ground reservoir.
Pond less Waterfalls
are simply a recirculation waterfall and/or stream without the presence of a pond. You can enjoy the sight and sound of running water without the maintenance of a pond.
Ecosystem Ponds
are small or large ponds that include a balance of aeration, filtration, plants, fish, rock and gravel. All components must be present in order to be considered an ecosystem since all components interact to keep the pond naturally balanced, thereby minimizing maintenance.
Advanced Ponds
Can take the form of a Pond less Waterfall or Ecosystem Pond. These large, water features are often found in commercial applications such as an office complex, a residential subdivision, shopping center, and more. A few water-loving homeowners have advanced ponds installed on their property where space and budget allow.
Who says you can't have the sound of water in your backyard, or even front yard? The options are endless when you add a decorative water feature in your outdoor landscaping. An added dimension of water is just what your garden needs, after all. Feel free to put one in a space where nothing else will grow and watch your garden come alive. No one has to know that it's low maintenance and didn't make much of a dent in your pocket. There's just something about water that can make any next-door neighbor envious of your living space.
