Types of outdoor water fountains

Outdoor water fountains are expert recyclers that reuse water to mimic a babbling brook. There are a few main types to explore: Outdoor waterfall fountains channel the water through a small slit to make a smooth, sizable arch of water or a small cascading waterfall over a series of levels. Depending on the style, you can use these as grand welcomes for your guests as they pass your front entrance or to create peaceful spaces in your backyard or garden. Outdoor wall fountains have a backing—like a mosaic or carved statue—that fits flush against a wall. They typically include a catching basin below and some form of spout—either a basic spout or something more elaborate like a roaring lion. Water walls drizzle water over a stylistic wall—typically made of stone or slate—for a unique shimmering effect. Birdbaths can either be still-basins or have moving water to attract all the neighborhood birds to your yard. Pair your birdbath with a birdhouse and bird feeder to turn your backyard into a bird watcher's paradise. Solar-powered water fountains are eco-friendly and stay charged even on cloudy days. Simply plunk one in a sunny space and enjoy the outdoors. Just keep an eye on the water level in case it evaporates on hot days. Pool or pond fountains pour water into your pool, like a small concrete frog that spouts water while you swim. You can even go for a Manneken Pis-type fountain for a cheeky laugh.

Outdoor water fountain materials

Each water fountain is unique, and its material can define the feel of your space: Stone fountains are the most popular, offering a weathered look that stands up to whatever Mother Nature throws at it. What could be more natural than water flowing over a smooth river stone? Metal fountains like brass or copper give rustic energy, while stainless steel makes a space feel tidy and bright. Ceramic fountains add colors and patterns to your space. The gorgeous tiling and handmade paintings generally stand up well to fading and weather conditions while offering varying levels of intricacy. Bamboo fountains can introduce a little feng shui to your outdoor space. Add some stepping stones , a pagoda lantern , or a garden statue to complete the transformation.

Should you leave your water fountain on all the time?

It’s a good idea to turn your fountain off during cleaning, when the temperatures reach below zero, or if you’re going away for several days in a row. Otherwise, let it flow. Turning your soothing waterfall fountain on and off each day is hard on the pump and can lead to unnecessary wear and tear.

"Very cute fairy lake or miniature bird bath. Looks just like the pictures. Arrived quickly from the UK. The price was very reasonable, but shipping was very costly. It is heavy, as it is cement, and of a decent size, so I knew it would cost a bit to ship, but was even more than I would have guessed. I’m a big fan of fairy gardens, so it was worth it to me and it will look adorable in my outdoor fairy garden. Now the fairies will have a “lake”!"

"Item is exactly as described and is large enough to have a mini fountain or make into a small wildlife pond which is exactly what I wanted in my small courtyard garden. It was brilliantly packed and although postage was expensive it was justified given the weight and immaculate packing."

"To be honest I bought this as an outside drinking bowl for my dog who loves to sink his nose right in. It's perfect because it is too heavy for him to knock over, it looks attractive too. I plan to fix a small solar fountain in it so he can drink from that"
