Water Feature Ideas for the Garden

It is always relaxing to walk in a garden and to hear the sounds of water. Not only is it relaxing to the soul but the sounds of water also attracts the wildlife to the garden. If you have been thinking about adding a water feature to your garden, here are some ideas from recycled to the elegant and elaborate.




You can make a nice water feature by using cement block available at most hardware stores. You will see the block used again in additional pictures.


Large urns make beautiful water features.







Just a simple cast cement birdbath water feature.



Three stacked stones make up this pondless water feature.






A combination of stone and river rock with upright stones that have been drilled make up this pondless water feature. The moss on the stones helps age the water feature.






















Add a light to your water feature for viewing at night.




What a great way to turn your storage shed into a water feature.






This water feature is a prefabricated pond sunk into the ground with a bird bath as the fountain.







Add some fire and water together for the garden.


















Large ceramic urns make nice water features and they come in all size, shapes and price ranges.






This water feature makes good use of a recycled grate.



This is a small sunken container with a split log for the water to run down. This would be nice for a woodland garden.



For those who like the unusual and recycled, here is a bathtub with mosaic work on the sides. Note the shower head delivers the water to the tub. This would be great for the eclectic garden.





Three cast iron urns standing in a pond make up this water feature.








A wall fountain can be self contained as a water feature or as a feature in a much larger pond.







How about a nice bronze water feature for the garden.
I hope you found some ideas that might work in your garden for next year!
