Garden fountains are popular for centuries. Fortunately, today you no longer depend on the source of water and you can set your fountain wherever you want, including indoors. You just have to have one simple electrical outlet and your water pump is ready to go. Solar pumps are also available.
The sound of water, together with these tiny, glittering drops, creates very nice, cozy atmosphere you will enjoy having in your lovely garden. If you don't have one, a terrace or a small patio will do. You don't really need a large space for it, because all sizes and types are available. Besides looking great, even a small fountain will muffle the noise from the outside.
Maybe you don't have enough space to put one large, basin type fountain there, but you can surely make space for one little, elegant wall-mounted piece. Pedestal types need more space, but hanging ones can hang from a tree, or from a simple hook in your patio. They will all create different atmosphere to enjoy in, regardless of their size.
Small tabletop models look great on your office desk, for example. They can be placed in any indoor or outdoor space, and they can even operate using batteries. They are especially practical for greenhouses, enclosed patios and similar spaces where you keep your flowers. They will provide additional moisture your plants will appreciate.
Birdbaths have double purpose. Birds are attracted to a sound of running water, and you would probably enjoy having them near you. Waterfall types work on the same principle, using water pump, but in this case water is tumbling over the rocks. Whichever type you choose, you need to understand that when water falls from greater heights, produces quite a strong sound.
Of course, you cannot place an enormous waterfall type in your small city patio. It all depends on your house style and of actual size of the existing space. Some materials will always look great, such as natural stone, for example. Terracotta is also quite appealing, but iron can look interesting as well.
Every pedestal should be properly fixed and weighted. Smaller fountain is quite easy to install, you just have to follow the instructions. Larger ones can be too heavy to install them by yourself, and you should definitely call a professional to help you. Most types have to be filled with water once, because installed pump uses the same water over and over again. You will have to add some once in a while.
Larger pieces require stronger pumps, of course. Small pump won't make the same effect, or won't work at all. If you have bought a set, you don't need to worry about it. If not, make sure to ask a professional before buying a new pump.
You will need a power supply. Solar water pumps are quite practical, but you do need to find a sunny place for your garden fountains. Electrical pumps are quite dependable. Make sure to have an outlet where you want to place your chosen piece. Another think you shouldn't forget about is to protect and camouflage the cable.
