Decorative Water Garden Fountain |
|
|
Various types of decorative water garden fountains are available to enrich your garden pond. An
ecological garden biotope looks great with small fountain that reminds to a natural spring. For a
small fishpond, that is as well a eye-catching element in your garden landscape you better install spray
fountains like bell fountains, tier or double tier fountains. If you have built a
large garden pond a geyser fountain may be most appropriate.
In any case we suggest to choose a decorative water garden fountain that goes in type and size along with
the proportions of size, shape, and design of your water garden as well as with design and size of the
surrounding garden landscape.

Position your decorative garden fountain where it looks best. That's normally in the center of a pond, if
you have a circular pond and square pond. If your garden pond has the shape of a long rectangle it looks
great to have several water fountains lined up in the center.
There are many models of decorative water garden fountains that are spaying from the sides into the
garden pond. Very common are animal fountains like water spitting frogs or fish. Female fountain statues
also very popular and you will find the classical type like the Venus from Botticelli as well as
modern fountain statuary or even half abstract water fountain statues.
For biotopes and natural fishpond you may consider to combine your water fountain with an decorative rock
so the whole installation goes together with the natural concept of your ecological water garden.

If you have a windy site your decorative garden pond fountains may be disturbed and the water may be blown
into your garden or on your pond bridge, step stones, or patio around your pond, what would make these
places very slippery.

Decorative Garden Pond Fountains |
|
Decorative Garden Pond Fountains enrich your water garden design and help for more aeration for your
fishpond. A splashier fountain, like a geyser fountain, will provide more oxygen for your pond fish, but the
moving and splashing water may disturb nearby water lilies and other floating pond plants. If you want to
have the best solution for fish and marginal plants, instead of a splashing geyser fountain better choose a
small bell fountain or a garden pond fountain statue that emphasizes your water garden landscape and keep
your floating garden pond plants at the other end of your pond.
