Backyard water features transform your outside area into a soothing sanctuary. Ponds, waterfalls, fountains, and even pondless structures that feature water can all be added to your landscaping plan to create a serene atmosphere. Elko, NV’s landscape design experts at Team Green list five benefits of including a backyard water feature in your plans.

Top 5 Benefits of Backyard Water Features

1. Low Maintenance

Backyard water features, especially pondless ones, are low maintenance and take little time to clean. Even their installation is quick, with most features requiring less than a day to build and get running.

2. Aesthetic Focal Point

Build your landscaping design around a fountain or pond, and you’ve created an outdoor retreat with a beautiful focal point right at the center. You can also use water features in various areas, such as outside seating surrounding a waterfall or a space in your yard that was otherwise unused or hard to organize. 

3. Soothing Sounds

The sound of water gently running in the background is quite calming. Even watching water trickling down is relaxing and great for eliminating the stress of the day. This subtle touch of nature is the perfect way to unplug after a long day at work. Add decorative rocks and different levels to give the water an exciting path to follow.

4. Versatility

No matter the size of your yard, a water feature can work. There are many options in a variety of styles and dimensions to suit your outside area. Even small properties can accommodate a waterfall, pond, or fountain.

5. Wildlife

Backyard water features support your area’s wildlife. Birds, dragonflies, butterflies, and even frogs will love a watery play area to visit. Add fish to a pond, and create your own ecosystem.
