We work hard to make our homes our castles – carefully selected color schemes, weekend improvement projects, comfortable furniture and dozens of decorative objects are just a few ways in which we strive to create an environment that reflects us as individuals and acts as a retreat from the hectic outside world. For all of our efforts, however, most people focus only on the interior of their homes, never realizing the potential held by their yard or garden to truly turn their homes into havens of rest and relaxation. So what’s the easiest and fastest way to turn an ordinary outdoor space into a beautiful, soothing oasis? Get yourself a pre-fabricated waterfall fountain and you’ll be well on your way to a backyard that will be the envy of the neighborhood.
Waterfall fountains are typically pre-assembled, so they require very little effort to set up – unlike custom-built natural rock waterfalls, which can take weeks to install and cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. Installing a pre-made waterfall fountain in your yard is much more economical, and can take as little time as one afternoon! Not only are they simple to set up, they’re self-contained as well – which means no pre-existing pond or pool is needed. The waterfall fountain comes with its own ‘reservoir’, from which the water is pumped to the top of the structure. All you have to do is place it in the desired spot and fill it up with a garden hose.
No matter what the natural landscape is like in your region, or the style you’ve decorated your outdoor space, you can find a waterfall fountain that will fit in perfectly. The various styles of the rock formations, colors and shapes available for waterfall features are diverse enough to look equally at home in the arid Arizona desert as in a lush, tropical Hawaiian setting.
Another perk of waterfall fountains is that they’re super lightweight, making them easy to move. A natural rock waterfall would be a permanent feature, while a waterfall fountain can be moved around your yard as your landscape plans change or taken with you when you move. They’re molded from real rock formations, which gives them a texture that is remarkably natural looking.
This quick, easy project is a fun activity for the family and the results will be spectacular. You and your family will have a special place to lounge in the sun, enjoy the wonderful sounds of flowing water, and entertain guests. A waterfall fountain will transform your yard into a resort environment, making you feel like you’re always on vacation – and what more could you ask for?
