Garden Water Feature Ideas

A water feature can enhance your garden. It can provide ornamental interest and produce a soothing meditative sound, perfect for sitting out with a book or a cup of tea. An idea as simple as a garden waterfall will not cost a fortune whilst making a real difference to your garden space. As a landscaping and greenwaste company, here are some water feature ideas you should consider for your home. 

Water Rills

Water rills are shallow channels that provide water that flows from one area to another. The noise of the flowing water helps add to the calming noise that can really add to the atmosphere of your garden. 

Water Bowls 

Garden water bowls are often wooden and can be placed anywhere within a garden.  They can also be particularly useful in shady areas as they can reflect light around to other areas that don’t get sunlight. They are very easy to set up and can come in a range of different styles. As well as wood, they can also be made of stone or sleek metal for a more contemporary look. 

Ponds 

Another simple garden water feature you should consider is a garden pond. One benefit of these is that they can work in any size or style of garden. They also double up as wildlife havens packed with plants. You can also achieve a calming soothing sound by including a fountain or rill. 

Fountains 

Decorative garden water features can be great for areas that need a fixed focal point. Like many water features, there are a range of different styles to choose from. These can include polished metal spheres, columns and stone monoliths .

Pebble Piles 

Garden pebble piles are perhaps one of the simplest and cheapest water features you can set up. All that is needed is a pile of pebbles set up in an artistic way that conceals a pump and water reservoir beneath. Similarly, you can set these up with a millstone. A pump is hidden in the central hole of the millstone which radiates water out. If needed, these can also be concealed by a heap of pebbles. 

Summary

From water bowls to ponds and rills, there are plenty of different water features that you can choose from for your garden. These can be great for adding an ornamental touch and creating a tranquil, calming atmosphere. As a landscaping and green waste company, we think water features are a perfect addition to gardens of any size or style.
