Posted by Nick Niesen on November 1st, 2010

The backyard in itself is a pleasant place. But no garden is ever so perfect without a water fountain. They add beauty and serenity to you're garden The sound of the water will give you much relaxation.

The kinds of water garden fountains

There are a lot of different garden fountains You have them in all kinds of sizes, for instance you have wall fountains that are installed on the wall and are mostly used in small gardens or patio's and you have pond fountains that are used mostly in the bigger garden,but there are pond fountains special build for smaller gardens.

The materials used to make garden fountains are: stone, ceramic, wood, copper, concrete, and I have also seen some beautiful old bronze garden fountains, though they are really expensive and much harder to maintain, the best materials for a fountain would be concrete and ceramic, those materials are low maintenance and have a long durability.

Garden fountains with sculpted carvings are adding to the beauty and serenity of you're backyard, choosing the right kind of garden fountain is a important decision, you need to think of a view things like: budget, how much is this going to cost me, where in the garden am I going to place it, where do I get my water and electricity from, this take's up a lot of planning, I would recommand to get some professional advice about all this stuff.

Maintenance

There are some things that you need to think about when maintaining your garden fountain.
-Fist when you have your water fountain in the garden you need to make sure that you clean in on a regular basis, because if you don't do that on a regular basis the water will be populated with algae and turn into a green dirty slum, and you don't want that do you?

-Use a algae treatment that is save for the environment, it would be a shame if you cleaned out your fountain and all of the sudden all the wildlife in you're garden go belly up, there are a lot of greet products that are completely save fore the environment to use.

The right planning is the main requirement to install, maintain and own a garden fountain, there are a lot of recourses on the internet and in magazines that you can use to plan and designing your garden with a fountain, belief me there if no better way then to relax in your own backyard with sparkling fountain
