A Guide To Installing Garden Fountains

By Lana Bray


When one has a nice and big garden, he would definitely want to decorate it with nice looking things so that he can show it off to his friends and neighbors. One of the nicest things to put in one of these gardens would be a beautiful fountain. For those who do not know how, then here is a step by step guide on how to install garden fountains in a jiffy.

Of course the first step would be to assemble a team of workers because the garden owner will definitely not be able do this task on his own. The first thing that the team would do would be to dig up a hole that is around three inches deep. As for the base of the hole which is in the middle, it should be dug up another three inches.

After that, one should get some stone dust along with small rocks and mix them all up to create a mixture of both components. The ratio of the mixture would be twenty percent small rock and eighty percent stone dust along with some water. The whole purpose of this mixture is to act as a leveler for the ground so that the base is not lopsided.

Once the ground has been leveled properly, then now would be the time to grab the base of the fountain and place it into the hole. Now sometimes the ground would still not be leveled which would make the base lopsided a little bit. When this happens, just add more of the mixture to the uneven portion.

When the base has already been secured on to the hole, the next thing to do would be to put in the electric pump. In order to secure the pump to the ground, first dig up a small hole and push the chord inside until it comes up from the base. Then get hold of the drain plug and stick it into the drain hole.

After that, take the fountain top and place it on top of the base. From there, take the chord where the water comes out and install it on to the very tip of the fountain top. In order to do this, one must place the chord under the fountain top and push it until it reaches the tip.

Once this is done, just simply secure the top to the base so that nothing comes apart and also fill up the base with water. Then plug in the chord of the pump into the nearest solar base so that it can get some power from sunlight. Once it is on, the last thing to do would be to just sit back, relax, and watch the fountain come to life.

So for those who are interested in installing fountain gardens, here is how to do it the very easy and fast way. Now take note that this process may look very simple but it is actually not easy to do. One will be needing a lot of help as well as a lot of tools and equipment in order to do this process.
