Water Features, Ponds,
Fountains
Rising Sun Landscaping & Maintenance suggests installation of water features as a
simple way to add a bit of serenity and style to your landscaping. They produce
some relaxation and sound privacy through waterfall noise. Maintenance is
required from time to time to keep the water fresh and refilled. Cleaning one to four
times per year is suggested depending on the type.
Water features can operate during winter if deep enough and a strong enough pump
is used. Besides producing a pleasing view and sound, they will also attract wildlife,
such as birds, and deeper ponds can be used to hold fish. Plants and other
decorations are often used to adorn water features and allow them to blend into the
overall landscape.
Ponds, Rivers
Ponds are easy to install and offer many aesthetic options as far as type of
construction such as moss rock, slate, concrete, etc. Some prefabricated pond basins
are available and larger ponds can be protected with a liner. Rivers are usually long
pathways of flowing water from an initial fountain-like source to a pond.
Ponds can hold fish and water plants.
Fountains
There are a large variety of fountains in form and size that are available. Because of
this variety, you can have a fountain in a very small space or create something grand
in your landscaping project. Some fountains are pre-cast and can stand alone.
Others pre-cast fountains are intended to be embedded into a larger structure. Yet
others are more like waterfalls, cascading down sheets of slate. Fountains can be
very simple overflowing pots or floating rock sphere designs.
Fountains can be great centerpieces to gathering spaces.
Disappearing waterfalls and fountains
Typical water features empty into a basin or pond which collects and recirculates the
water. “Disappearing” waterfalls and fountains hide the pond slightly underground
beneath rocks that hide it from view. Water appears to flow from the fountain into
the ground. Rising sun can construct disparaging fountains and waterfalls for your
landscape projects!
