Tropical Water Gardens Decorative Fountainscapes
Water features provide homeowners with a unique and creative way to decorate their outdoor living space. Many homeowners desire the soothing sounds of running water, but are just not ready for a pond or simply can’t afford one. A decorative fountain provides the perfect solution for a small, entry-level water feature.
What is a Fountainscape?
Fountainscapes are decorative water features such as container water gardens, stand-alone fountains, bubbling stone, decorative spitters including fountains that incorporate an in-ground reservoir.
Container Water Gardens
If you're interested in "testing the waters" of the water gardening hobby, a container water garden or Patio Pond is a great place to start! They are generally used to add the sound of water to a deck or patio, but they also look great greeting visitors by the front door. But they don't just add beauty; they also give kids a fun way to learn about nature.
Standalone Fountains
Standalone Fountains are gaining popularity due to their ease of set-up and maintenance, all you need to do is add water, plug it in, and enjoy. A great example of a standalone fountain is the New Aquascape Fire Fountain that combines the beauty of water and fire in a quick and easy plug and play format.
Bubbling Stone Fountains and Spillway Bowls
These larger water features are typically set atop an underground reservoir also known as an AquaBasin®, a water pump contained within the AquaBasin® keeps circulating the water over the feature. An AquaBasin® can easily be installed within just a few hours if you like to tackle home projects on your own, or you can hire a Certified Aquascape Contractor to do the job for you.
Decorative Spitters
Decorative Spitters are often used to add a whimsical touch or create a focal point and water movement to existing ponds or container water gardens. Decorative Spitters can also be incorporated into traditional landscapes when combined with a small reservoir or mini AquaBasin®.
