Should I Install a Backyard Pond or Fountain?
If you are considering adding a water element to your backyard there are plenty to choose from. The main features that are great for aesthetic value are a pond or fountain. The two are completely different, so choosing one or the other will depend on what you are looking for. Each has their ups and downs that make a big difference.
Advantages of a Pond
If you are considering a pond, this is a great option for nature and animal lovers. Ponds work best when you include live fish and water plants such lily pads and flowers. Ponds will add great visual appeal to any landscaping. Interesting rock borders, waterfalls, and vegetation can all be added for an even better look and for added water sounds. If you dont want to go with a waterfall but still want the sound of a simple pump can give you that effect and will keep the water circulating so that you dont end up with stagnant water.
If you have children that are elementary aged or older, a pond can be a great addition to learning about ecosystems. Parents of babies or toddlers may want to consider some kind of fence or border around the pond for safety purposes. If it is a big concern a Fountain might be a better option for your family.
Advantages of a Fountain
A fountain is a great low maintenance option. You can still enjoy the visual appeal and the sound of flowing water without as much maintenance as a pond. It is also a safer option for families with small children. If you have a dog that roams your backyard the fountain will be a constant source of fresh water. A fountain is also a great way to add value and appeal to your backyard for future sale.
