Landscaping Water Features

A water feature can fit in to almost any landscape, and there are many styles and options available to suit your needs and level of maintenance. • A bowl with plants/fish • Fountain big or small • Retaining wall fountains • Pondless waterfall • Brooks and streams • Ponds • Ecosystem ponds • Rainwater recycling

landscape water features

Using collected rainwater instead of municipal water for landscape irrigation and water features can lower your water bills and save municipalities water treatment costs. It is also a way around watering restrictions in areas where water is in short supply. Rainwater harvesting systems are a newer concept that combines a recirculating water feature with an underground water storage system. See examples at http://www.rainxchange.com/
