Water Features
A water feature with no standing water makes a great alternative to a pond if you don't have much room, you've little time for pond maintenance or there are young children around and a pond is impractical on safety grounds.
A wall fountain, pebble pool or simply a large decorative jar of water, with a small pump inside rippling the water surface, have all the benefits of a water feature without all the hard work of maintaining a pond. With this type of feature, the same water is endlessly recycled using a pump (so it will need a power supply).
An attractive water feature can be achieved quite simply with a water pump and a terracotta pot. A combination of cobbles and boulders coupled with generous foliage will bring a central focal point to any garden. The teracotta shades of the rainbow cobbles and bouldersshown below create an ambience of a Medeterranian theme. Click here to see a more contemorary style water feature.
