Fountains & Landscape
Add a perfect sensation to your decoration with Water Fountains. Adding a water feature brings a whole new and sensational experience to your garden. A well-placed fountain can transform an ordinary retreat with the restorative sound and hypnotizing movement of trickling water. A fountain can also serve as a focal point in a front yard, plaza or courtyard. Garden fountains come in a wide range of sizes, styles and materials. You can purchase a prefabricated fountain or have it designed and built. Fountains can be mounted on walls, freestanding, tiered or disappearing. The option you choose will primarily depend on your budget, space availability, maintenance considerations, and garden style. A good rule-of-thumb is to use a large fountain as a focal point and a small fountain as an accent element. Our professional team of landscaping professional will help you sort through the options and ask the right questions before you install your fountain.
