There is something magical about water in the garden. It attracts people (young and old), pets, wildlife, and pollinators. It seems that everyone who enjoys a garden is drawn to the sound and the sight of water. A garden water feature adds interest to the garden and can be an anchoring focal point.
Water can be a showpiece or a part of a secret hideaway. Whether your garden is a small urban space or an expansive acreage, there is a water feature you can use to enhance your garden enjoyment. And this article lists a number of guides that will hopefully get your waterfall flowing in no time!

As of late, I have become obsessed with garden water features. I have always had small-space water gardens somewhere from bird baths to wall fountains to a pond-in-a-pot. Recently I have been pouring over books, the internet, and visiting garden centers to get every shred of inspiration I can on water features.
When I first started reading about water gardening, I noticed that many of the articles were written for those who already had ponds or fountains installed. I wanted to find some information on what sort of water features were out there and how I could choose what is right for me. I have tried to break down this information in my water feature posts here on Garden Therapy.
I share your obsession with decorative water fountains. My wife thinks that I am crazy, but I really love how soothing they are. I also liked your article about impressive fountains. There are some stunning pieces in there. Thank you for contributing to my obsession.
There’s nothing better than the sound of water in the garden. It’s so relaxing – who doesn’t enjoy the birds, bloom, and sound of water? A fountain would be perfect in my garden since there’s no room for a pond.
I am also fairly obsessed with garden water features. That golden statue in the Impressive Fountains picture is very pretty. She is something I would love to own, but I don’t think I have what it takes to properly care for her.
My wife and I really want to get some sort of water feature in our backyard, and we weren’t sure what to do. It makes sense that you would want to make sure that you will be able to clean it. That way, you won’t have to worry about it looking dirty, and not well kept.
Water features can become high maintenance, and in most cases the bigger the water feature is, the more time it takes to maintain it. Pondpro2000 has made it easy to maintain water feature without limitation of area.
