There are no hard and fast rules and ultimately it is down to you to which style you would prefer in your garden and which would fit best on the wall you have chosen.
Outdoor Tiered Fountains

The outdoor tiered fountains have been around for centuries and the large ones are more commonly found in stately homes, parks, town centres and squares to name just a few locations. However, the good news is you could have one for your garden and it doesn’t need to be as large as the ones you see in the locations mentioned. There is a large selection of tiered fountains for the home and they provide an ornate background for any garden or patio. A wide choice of materials will allow you to pick and choose which design would look best for your garden and you can quickly and easily install them to any area you wish.

For very little maintenance you will get years of use out of your fountain and be able to enjoy the soothing sounds and effects when you relax in your garden or outside space.
