Wonderful Water!Different water features - from ponds, to fountains, to streams

Including water in a landscape design not only increases property values by up to 10%, but it can transform the most ordinary garden into something spectacular. 

Why does water have such an effect on us?

  • Water is dynamic.  Whether it is a gentle stream undulating through naturally placed rocks and plants or a simple pebble pond in a container on your patio - water adds life to any outdoor setting.
  • The sound of water lends tranquillity and a sense of calm.  If you can’t afford a property by the sea or next to a river, you can create the soothing effects of flowing water in an exciting range of ways, limited only by the size of your garden and your budget.  The peaceful sound of water can also help to mask unwanted traffic or industrial noise, creating an oasis of calm.
  • Water attracts wildlife, from dragonflies to birds, enhancing the environmental benefit of your garden and providing interest.
  • Water allows you to grow a greater variety of plants, making your garden more interesting and more versatile.

A well-designed water feature saves you the time and expense of repair or even relocation.  We ensure the best quality installation so your fountain, stream or pond will give you years of pleasure with minimal maintenance.  Speak to Green Solutions about designing and building beautiful water features.

Types of Water Features

The particular water feature you choose depends on its intended location, the style of the house and garden, the scale of the area and what you can afford.  Here are some options: types of water features

  • Fountains - Fountains range from large stand-alone fountains to those that hang on your wall.  The pump can be powered by electricity or by solar energy and submerged lights can create a magical effect at night.
  • Ponds - The ideal size and style of the pond depends on its surroundings.  A formal garden would suite a pond with a clearly defined geometric shape,. A cottage garden would be the setting for a more natural, free-form water feature.  Plant life and fish enhance the living quality of the garden.
  • Waterfalls - It’s hard to beat waterfalls for sheer drama.  Whether it’s water falling gently into a pond or cascading into a swimming pool, the sound and movement of a waterfall create dynamic interest in a garden.
