Enhancing the landscaping of your yard can add to a home’s curb appeal, add equity, and make a yard feel like a peaceful retreat from the outside world. This can be done by adding plantings, installing a patio, a fire-pit or unique water feature. The latter seems to be growing in popularity because of the benefits that it offers homeowners while they are living on the property—and by making their home stand out in the event that it goes on the market. Let’s look at the benefits of adding a small pond, a babbling water feature or a small water feature to your yard.
- Aesthetic appeal – More and more people are looking to create little outdoor havens for their families that extend to the outdoors. A water feature makes for a peacefully lovely backdrop. Water features are almost mesmerizing to look at and can be easily lit up at night, turning an ordinary backyard into what feels like an extension of your home and an extra room. There’s a magical aura to the sight and sound of running water. The simple addition of this type of feature can make your yard look one of a kind!
- Peace and Relaxation – It’s nice to have a relaxing, quiet sanctuary in your own backyard. A water feature can add that sense of serenity even to a typical yard. The sound of a babbling pond or trickling of water has calming sounds that can wash away stress.
- Noise insulation – If you live near a busy road or loud area, the sound of a water feature can block out unwanted noises.
- Low maintenance – Unlike a swimming pool, a water feature is fairly low maintenance. The water in these water features essentially re-circulates, so they don’t use much water and or grow much bacteria. Therefore there is little cleaning and monitoring involved.
