Home and garden decoration ideas are getting more and more enriched each and every day. The design ideas are being developed by the individual homeowner or by lawn and landscape companies. These ideas are highly innovative and they are capable of adding more attraction to the entire home. It is a fact that modern homes are incomplete without gardens, whether big or small. The garden has become an extension to the living space that was formally only inside the home.  Most homeowners now look for ways to make the outdoor garden a place of comfort and tranquility and find that adding garden fountains to the space accomplishes this goal.

Fountains are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and designs. There are a wide variety of fountain designs on the market so there is a style to accommodate any type of space or garden whether it is classic or contemporary.  Manufacturers and dealers of fountains offer fountains in a wide variety of sizes so the landscape artist just needs to determine the size needed to fit the space.  A fountain may be placed in the center of a garden as a focal point or may be placed at the entrance of a home or business depending on where you wish the focal point of your design to be. 

Garden fountains are available in tiers to add height and more water flow to the design.  One-tier fountains are best used in small gardens or lawns to create a serene calming effect. However if you have a space that requires a more substantial piece fountains are available in two tiers, three tier and four tier configurations. Areas that have tall plants or shrubs will require more height in the fountain so that you can see it over the foliage.   For a large lawn or garden you may wish to utilize a fountain with a pool as this provides a grand and elegant effect.   Many public gardens use a variety of attractive fountains that vary in size for a whimsical effect.

The quality of the garden fountains is of course an important factor when choosing the fountain for your space.  It is recommended that you choose a fountain constructed of concrete, fiber stone or resin for outdoor use.  Most concrete and resin fountains are finished and produced for outdoor use.  It is also important to decide if you wish to place the fountain in the same location for many years as a statement piece or if you plan to change the garden often and move the fountain to different areas of the garden.  It is recommended that you choose a concrete fountain for an area that wish to leave the fountain for a long period of time as it is a heavy piece to move about.  Resin fountains are light in weight and work best for the gardener who wishes to move the fountain often. 

Prices vary for fountains based on many factors.  Most homeowners and gardeners are able to find a garden or lawn fountain that will fit within their price range. Fountains are priced depending on the size and the amount of material and time it requires to produce the piece.  Landscape designers consider the cost of a fountain or statue as an investment in the overall design that will last for many years of enjoyment and add value to the property where it is to be placed.   Envision your lawn or garden with a fountain included in the design as it might be the perfect accent.
