Enhancing Your Outdoor Space with a Fountain

Creating a Natural Point of Beauty in Your Backyard

Adding a fountain to your outdoor space can transform an ordinary Minnesota backyard into a serene retreat. Fountains offer a stunning visual beauty alongside their soothing sounds of water. No matter the size of your yard, fountains can fit almost anywhere and can be the focal point of small spaces as well as accent pieces to larger yards.

Will a fountain fit in my backyard?

Besides the beauty of the fountain itself, their practical beauty is their versatility. As stated above, your fountain can be the focal point, or simply an integration into the larger landscape If one fountain is not enough, there is no limit to the number of fountains you could incorporate into your yard! Is there anywhere a fountain wouldn’t work?

How do I “glam it up?”

It’s okay if you don’t know how to accessorize your fountain. Simply surrounding your water feature with river rock is bedazzling enough. If you feel adventurous, you can plant any water loving plants you want around your fountain. The added benefits of plants is that you might find yourself attracting new kinds of wildlife to your yard to enjoy your fountain alongside you.

What do I do with my fountain during the winter?

Did you know that fountains don’t need to be turned off during the winter? That’s right, you can leave your fountain turned on all year round and enjoy the majestic ice sculptures your fountain will produce. If you’ve never seen fountain ice sculptures before, it’s really something marvelous!
