Enhancing Garden Walls with Water Features
September 5, 2011 in Garden Furniture
If you are planning to have garden walls constructed on your property, then a good thing to consider would be to enhance them with water features as well. Enhancing a garden wall with a water feature is a great way to create a focal point in your garden or to add more beauty and style to your outdoor space. Because of the sound of the water flowing, adding a water feature to your wall can also turn your garden into a relaxing space. Here are some water features that you can add to a garden wall.
Mosaic Wall Water Fountain
You can choose to have this type of water feature built against a garden wall, especially if you are looking for an artistic addition to your outdoor space. The mosaic wall can be made with ceramic or glass mosaic tiles that are arranged by an artist to create a beautiful and interesting design. Mosaic wall water fountains can work with any type of garden, although they work best with Mediterranean garden styles.
Slate Water Wall
This type of water feature can be created through attaching slate tiles to an acrylic sheet or marine plywood that spans or exceeds the height of your garden wall. A garden pond or a rectangular planter can then be constructed to serve as a reservoir for the garden water wall.
Trickling Garden Waterfall
If you have a stone garden or retaining wall, a good water feature to go for would be a trickling waterfall. The natural crevices and gaps between the stones serve as a path for the water to flow through, creating a natural and relaxing effect.
If you are looking to have garden walls built or water features constructed with your garden walls, it would be best to hire garden re-design contractors or professional landscaping contractors, as they have the knowledge and experience in building walls that would be able to add both beauty and functionality to various types of outdoor spaces.
