Bubbling fountains and water features in the garden please the eye and are among the best decorative garden elements. During the Renaissance, fountains were symbols of power, and they have always inspired people’s imagination. They enliven the garden with their bubbling sound and create a cooling effect through evaporation. Some are also equipped with changing lights that create beautiful effects in the evening. We have collected interesting designs that you can build yourself in your own garden.
Water features in the garden – bubbling sounds and freshness
Decorative fountains are usually designed as closed systems, so you need to monitor the amount of water in the basin and refill it from time to time. The pump is the engine of a water feature. Ask for advice in a specialty shop, because there are different models with solar power, remote control, or timers. Stores also offer ready-made kits for water features in the garden, which can be installed by experienced DIY enthusiasts. Depending on the configuration, you may also need an individual vessel and a few decorative elements.
Make water features in the garden yourself
The easiest option is to drill a planter and turn it into a small fountain. Pebbles are perfect for the base. Choose source rocks for decoration, because they look very natural. A little algae or moss can make the arrangement even more beautiful. Bamboo poles and black gravel are increasingly popular because they create a calm Zen feeling. Alternatively, you can upcycle old garden elements, such as a vintage wheelbarrow or tub.
