Fountains and Waterfalls

Tips from Real-Estate-Agents.com

Waterfalls and fountains add a rich dimension to a landscape, whether as the focal point the rest of the yard is designed around or a beautiful way to circulate water in pools, spas or ponds.

Waterfalls can be simple or elaborate, designed to empty into a single pool or pond of water, originating from a flowing stream and falling through several tiers or cascading dramatically from many feet above the ground.

Formal precast fountains of all shapes, sizes and themes may be self-contained or installed in the center of a pond or pool. More contemporary fountains which may not be very decorative in themselves create a dramatic focal point in the manner the water is sprayed.

Consulting with your landscape contractor or water feature specialist can help you decide the most effective way to add a water feature to your yard.
