05 Apr Spotlight on Water Features

Water features add appealing contrast to the desert beauty of Tucson. These popular landscape design features are sought after not only for their looks but for the relaxing sounds and atmosphere, they create as well. Installing a water feature in your yard is an easy way to instantly transform the appearance of your landscape design, adding personality, style, and diversity.

Ponds

Incorporating a pool or pond into your landscaping is a great way to enhance your yard without disrupting the organic look of your property. A freeform pond creates a natural space where you can keep fish, plant a garden, or simply add seating for a relaxing space to calm your mind. If you like the sound of running water, a small fountain or waterfall can add ambiance while improving water circulation for ease of maintenance.

Fountains

Fountains are a popular southwestern landscaping feature that add movement and life to your landscape design. A fountain can take center stage as the focal point of your yard, or add a subtle touch when tucked away into a niche or beside a gardening area. Fountains are available in a wide variety of designs, from modern to classical, and maybe freestanding or incorporated as part of a patio enclosure to add style and improve the feeling of privacy in your outdoor space.

Canals

A canal that houses flowing water can create the perfect complement to a heavily-hardscaped southwestern-style yard. Canals can transport water throughout your yard, softening its overall design while adhering to the more structured feel of your hardscaping. To soften the look of your yard further, consider adding a bridge or waterfall for a touch of classical, garden-like luxury just outside your desert home.
