Before you Start

Things to consider before you start your fountain project.

Safety

A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is an automatic device that offers personal protection against electrocution. Installing and utilizing a GFCI outlet is especially important outdoors and near water.

Location

Consider how the fountain will enhance your landscape. Examine all potential sites while considering accessibility, safety, and shade.

Integration

The size and scale of your fountain should complement the other features of your yard, including your landscaping and terrain.

Sunlight

Direct sunlight enables rapid algae growth. If you wish to minimize algae growth, you will need to choose a location that is partially or completely shaded. Consider placing an umbrella or awning in the area near your fountain if natural shade is unavailable.

Types of Fountains

No yard? You can still have beautiful water features indoors or on your patio, porch, or balcony. Fountains are simple water features and range from a bubbling vase to a core-drilled boulder, to a formal fountain. With a little imagination, you can turn tons of everyday materials into a fountain, or you can purchase a statuary fountain.
