What are the benefits of a garden water feature?

Adding value to your home is something that having a water feature in your garden has to offer. This is especially true after it has had time to blend in and mature with the rest of your garden. It is not unusual for a well-established water feature to add more than £1000 to the sale price of a property, particularly if it is one of a kind in an area. A well-positioned and regularly maintained water feature can make a home and garden stand out in the market and it is very rarely that someone isn’t attracted by their serenity and pleasing appearance. With our developing awareness of environmental values these additions to your garden landscaping can be an important part of a buyer’s decision when it comes to selling your home.

Environmental Conservation can be a big part of developing a water theme in your garden and some products are perfect for adding a special touch to a pool or pond. By aerating a pond, a garden fountain or waterfall can help to sustain your very own ecosystem that attracts wildlife such as frogs, birds and butterflies. Your choice of water feature offers you the potential to introduce a wider variety of aquatic plants which will bring new shape and colour to your displays. Almost certainly, by adding a water feature to your garden you will attract many more birds. (Birds will drink and bathe in an old saucer that is left out in the rain). This in turn will get you your very own pest control service.

Stress Relief is for many people the thing they talk about most when they have enjoyed a garden water feature for some time. Most of us are familiar with the calming effects of the sound of a stream or running water, even just having time to stare at a lake, river or the sea can remind us of how soothing the sight and sound of water can be. It isn’t by chance that parks and gardens in our cities are more often than not a place where we can go to find and enjoy the peace of a water feature. The same is true for your garden oasis, the place you can go to get a break from the noise and stress of the demands of everyday life.

So apart from the great deal of fun and pleasure that you can have in choosing a garden water feature and the enjoyment that you will get from making something beautiful and eye catching, there are beneficial spin offs from this type of product that will last for many years after you have added it to your garden.
