Water Features and Its Practical Benefits

Most people have their personal image of an ideal water feature that they wish to place in their yard, yet for some reason they are not aware of how exactly to decorate it. Well there are a couple of things that one needs to consider prior to selecting the right water feature. If one has stream that is manmade or a pond in their front or backyard then using a small waterfall will be the right choice. A water feature is a truly amazing add-on for one’s garden. It is akin to experiencing a vacation in an amazing rain forest. But this will only be possible if one’s yard has enough plants and trees. There is indeed nothing like having water features in one’s back or front yard.

The 3 most widely used water features in Melbourne include,

Fountain bubblers - also known as sun or foam jets, a fountain bubbler are akin to a mini geyser that helps in shooting water out from the pool floor. These are placed typically in a shallow part of a pond or pool known as wet deck or sun shelves. As these are made into a pool/pond’s shell, fountain bubblers should be installed during a major renovation or original construction.

Pool rock waterfall - generally large or mid size in scale, this water feature offers the ideal backdrop both for a natural-style pool or lagoon, adding acoustic and visual ambiance, particularly with tropical foliage placed adjacent to the waterfall. Resting on the height and width, the pool rock waterfall will work wonders in blocking the noise and view from the surrounding area thereby augmenting the illusion that one is relaxing within a remote oasis.

Wall waterfall stacks - these come in tile-like or stone appearance yet are composed of fiberglass generally that helps to reduce the weight as well as cost for building the water feature.

Along with offering aesthetics and serenity, a water feature also boasts of ample practical benefits. It helps in adding moisture to the air. In fact a certain amount of humidity is needed for every living being, thus a water feature is indeed great particularly for dry places in the home. One’s plants will thank them for this and so their loved ones having dry skin or suffering from respiratory issues. The water combines with the air resulting in evaporation which offers a cooling effect while the sound which comes from it is absolutely relaxing thereby working as a natural stress reliever.
