Adding a water feature to your garden is a great way to add character and charm to your outdoor space. Whether it's a beautiful waterfall, water fountain, or a custom pond, there are plenty of benefits to having a water feature in your Florida garden.
The Top Benefits
Aesthetics
One of the biggest benefits of a pond or water feature is that they can help support surrounding wildlife, such as birds and butterflies. Having native plants in and around the water features will attract these beneficial species to your yard. Having a well-maintained water feature in your garden can also enhance the aesthetics of your property, making it look more inviting and attractive to potential homebuyers.
Reduce noise
Having a water feature in your backyard can reduce the amount of noise you hear from traffic, barking dogs, and other nearby sources. This sound reduction can make it easier for you to relax and unwind after a hard day at work.
Improve air quality
Flowing water emits negative ions that help to balance the amount of oxygen in the air. This can help to lower respiratory issues in anyone that is prone to allergies. It can also improve the air quality of your entire family by reducing the number of dust and pollen particles floating in the air.
Low maintenance
Fountains, waterfalls and pondless water elements re-circulate the water from within, so they are relatively maintenance free. This means you'll need to do less cleaning than with a swimming pool, and they don't breed bacteria like swimming pools do.
Unique
There are a huge variety of water features to choose from, so you'll be sure to find something that fits your landscape design and style. From simple pre-manufactured fountains to full custom pools, waterfalls, streams and spillways, you're sure to find the perfect water feature for your needs.
Increased value
Adding a water feature to your yard will not only increase the curb appeal of your property, but it can also boost its overall value. This is especially true if it's located in a competitive real estate market such as Florida where it stands out as a key selling point for potential homebuyers.
Feels like a vacation
Having a pond or water feature can create an atmosphere similar to being on vacation right at home! Taking some time away from daily life outside on your patio or deck surrounded by flowing natural elements like trickling streams or roaring falls will be sure improve moods while helping achieve peace and serenity.
Attracts wildlife
With such calming sounds coming from these outdoor installations animals ranging from birds all the way up squirrels will come looking for food and shelter further adding more beauty into an already relaxing setting making it great learning experience for kids who love observing different creatures alike!
Eco-friendly
Lastly these ponds help naturally moisturize dry soil during hot summer days which helps maintain healthier plants while saving money on decreased watering bills too!
