    Home Improvement - Adding Outdoor Water Fountains

    Outdoor water fountains add value to any home. Not only do they add beauty to any outdoor space, they also help to create a soothing and peaceful atmosphere where you will want to remain forever. Outdoor water fountains come in two basic types: spray fountains, and statuary fountains. Here, we will show you the difference between the two types, so as to help you choose the right outdoor water fountain for your garden.

    Spray Fountains

    The spray type of outdoor water fountains are also known as jet fountains, and pond fountains. Relatively inexpensively, you can install these lovely fountains yourself with minimal effort. These fountains are placed into your existing pond or lake, and create a lovely spray of water in the center. Spray fountains also generally come with an automatic timer, so that you can set the fountain to come on and remain on at whatever times of the day you choose.

    The spray type of outdoor water fountains are also environmentally friendly. Because they aerate the water in your pond, they help to increase the oxygen content of the water, thereby improving the life of any fish or plants you may have. They also help to reduce the amount of algae you would otherwise experience with a lake or pond. You can also add lights to your spray fountains in order to make their display more dramatic at night.

    Statuary Fountains

    The statuary type of outdoor water fountains are free-standing fountains that are typically made out of stone, concrete or marble. These fountains can be anything from a straightforward birdbath type fountain, to more complicated architectural statues spouting water from several different figures. Many statuary fountains that people will recognize are akin to the fountains we see with the cherubs, water streaming from buckets or certain parts of their anatomy.

    The statuary type of outdoor water fountains are quite popular for courtyards and other outdoor displays in high traffic areas. Many museums also have statuary fountains adorning the entrances of their halls. Statuary fountains should be installed and maintained by a professional who has been specially trained to care for them. These can be quite expensive, and you wouldn t want to have to replace them due to a minor mistake.

    Whether you decide to use the spray or the statuary type of outdoor water fountains, it is certain that having an outdoor fountain will add to the value of your home, and increase the beauty of your landscape.
