The Timeless Elegance of Garden Wall Fountains

Gardens are lovely escapes and can be greatly enhanced with the presence of water features. Adding a Garden Wall Fountain allows a whole new dimension of enjoyment in an outdoor space.
The Timeless Elegance of Garden Wall Fountains
You are walking through a lush garden bathed in sunlight. Flowers of every shape and color burst forth from the thick green grass, and your bare feet are pleasantly warmed by the sun soaked flagstone path. Then you hear the bright and sweet sound of water running, and you notice a pair of stone garden wall fountains to your right. Are you in Tuscany? Paris? Barcelona? No, you are in your own back yard!

Garden wall fountains are truly a transformative element, and can turn even the simplest garden into a place of tranquility and grace. They have the power to recall the sophistication of the finest gardens of the world in your daisy patch, or make your small lily garden as lovely as the sprawling grounds of Versailles. And the best part is that their installation and care is not as high maintenance as it looks.

Most modern garden wall fountains contain water pumps that circulate water, which means they do not need to be connected to a water source. Unlike pool or septic pumps, the water pumps included in wall fountains are designed to be extremely quiet so they do not disturb the sound of your garden. The pumps run on electricity, so all you really need to install your garden wall fountain is an electrical outlet. The only maintenance required is occasionally adding more water into the pump system. Could it be any easier?

Wall fountains can set the mood and help you define your garden space. They are available in just about every style you can imagine. There are many that resemble the perfectly aged and sun bleached fountains found in ancient Greece, while there are others that are designed to look like a Renaissance masterpiece complete with cherubs and angels. Some are built to channel calming meditation through minimal Eastern shapes, and yet others are created to mimic a cave basin. Most fountains are made from concrete, marble, or fiberglass, but can be finished to look like any material you want. Sizes range from small wall medallions to seven hundred pound floor models. They are typically priced from one hundred and fifty dollars to two thousand dollars.

Yet the wide variety of shapes, sizes, prices, and materials only means that there is a wall fountain out there that is perfect for your garden. Garden wall fountains give your outdoor space a level of timeless grace and class that cannot be achieved otherwise. Their soothing sound and elegant appearance make your yard a real garden, whether you live on an expansive property or in an urban suburb.
