Living in the Midwest has me dreaming of spring and summer already even though it is only January. I keep envisioning the green shrubs, flowers, birds and of course, the garden fountains that I get to put back out!
If you aren’t familiar with outdoor water fountains but love to spend time outdoors in your yard, on your deck or gardening, adding a fountain will be your new favorite addition that will bring you many years of serenity, beauty and relaxation!
A couple things to consider before starting your search for the perfect garden fountain is where you will put your fountain. Some common places for outdoor fountains are on your deck or patio (I recommend wherever you spend the most time), right in your garden area or in your landscaping to you can see them from the road or front yard. When considering placement, be sure you think about the outlet and cord placement of your fountain because unless you are going with one of the solar fountains you will need an outlet for your outdoor fountain.
Next, think about the material of your garden fountain. Common materials for outdoor water features are fiberglass, keeping them lightweight and easy to move, and cast stone. Cast stone fountains offer the advantage of being able to choose your color where fiberglass fountains are typically made over seas and have a “stone-like” finish on them making them look like real stone. You will also see a lot of outdoor fountains choices made of ceramic material in various finishes. Most of the solar water fountains that are available are made of ceramic. My next article in this series will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each.
You will find that no matter where you place your garden fountains and what material you choose, you will thoroughly enjoy their inviting water sounds and feel like you have truly created an outdoor haven for yourself, your family and your guests.
