Unique Garden Water Features
When designed properly and with taste, a garden can be easily turned into a focal point that will attract the attention of your guests and neighbors and the most easiest way in which you can turn a regular garden into something that looks amazing is by having one or two water features. If are not very creative or you simply don’t know yet what can fit into your garden design nicely, check out these 4 unique and creative water features for your garden.
Go with a themed swimming pool
If you one of the lucky people that can afford installing a swimming pool in their gardens, take your time to design a unique swimming pool that has an interesting thematic. We like this violin shaped swimming pool that is fitted for a music lover. As you can probably tell, a lot of work has been put into this project, so unless you are a professional builder or architect, it’s advisable to ask for the help of a professional to help you design a violin shaped swimming pool in your garden. Nonetheless, the result will be simply breathtaking.
Natural swimming pools for environmentally conscious people
Natural swimming pools are considered to be some of the most innovative water features today. As compared to a regular swimming pool that requires several stages of filtration and the use of chemicals to keep the water clean, natural pools respect both your health and the environment. The plants from the swimming pools can act as a biological filter, keeping the water clean at all times.
Turn a piano into a water feature
If you are on a tight budget and you can’t afford getting a swimming pool for your yard and garden, then you should get more innovative and use old items from your home to turn them into water features. For instance, you can use an old piano that can no longer be used to turn it into a water feature. If you’re considering on marking on this project, make sure to take some measures such as using a special paint to preserve the wood so that it doesn’t rot any time soon.
Water walls
Water walls are common in residential and community gardens, but if you want to make it more unique, you can create a water wall from scratch. Water walls can be made from plastic, stone or even marble, just go with your own choice of materials. After laying down the structure, install a water collection reservoir at the base of the water wall but make sure to hide it with rocks or foliage so that it’s not visible.
